Arts & Culture Ecosystem : Strategic Investment Funds

Purpose: To develop and steward a portfolio of investment strategies to increase funding of arts and culture in Silicon Valley.

Outcome: A menu of investment opportunities for legacy donors, corporations, public sector, and micro-donors anchored in research and community ROI.

Based upon research that 1stACT has collected, we are focused on understanding why Silicon Valley has such a chasm between the capacity and propensity to invest in arts and culture. We are working to ensure and demonstrate why our cultural infrastructure is a valuable investment and are growing the circle of key investors to help make it happen.
