Pegasus Opera Company Ltd.’s Post

As the co-founder and GM of an Iowa Nonprofit, I am always trying to find the best way to approach obtaining Grants. Obviously as an NPO, finances are always a concern. We do have a Grant station membership but many of our Members find it confusing and time consuming to navigate. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to approach this? Have you had success writing your own grants or is hiring out preferable? I would love to hear your recommendations. #nonprofit #charitableorganization #npo #notforprofit #independentcinema #theatre #theater #cinema

Help us spread the word about this great #nonprofit and share this post. Consider us in your giving.

Social responsibility is within our core values.

We are making a difference! "In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, non-profit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, city, or region around arts and cultural activities. Creative placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired."* Paramount Theatre has taught me about the immeasurable impact of the arts on people and communities. Support the arts, your whole world will feel it! *This quote is from a study by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Using AI is not a good idea for fundraising. People can tell an AI written letter from one written by a human being. And once (not if) your donors find out, it can damage your credibility with them. #arts #fundraising #nonprofit #strategy #theatre #museums https://ow.ly/oOig50TAks0

Central Florida Locals: ENZIAN NEEDS YOUR HELP! If you're a local to the Orlando area, you likely know and love Enzian Theater; I've enjoyed it so much during my years here that I had to get involved, so I joined the Advisory Council. And we've been hit hard. As you may have seen in recent news, the state of Florida has made a monumental and unprecedented cut of $32 million in funding for arts and cultural institutions. This means that beginning July 1, state arts funding supporting Enzian and other arts nonprofits will be zero. As a nonprofit organization, Enzian’s continued operation relies on government support and grant funding. With this elimination of state funds, Enzian will experience a total loss of $104,191. For almost 40 years, Enzian has been Central Florida’s home to independent cinema. More than a movie theater, it is a curated celebration of film, showcasing and prioritizing cinema of historical and cultural significance to entertain, inspire, educate, and connect the community through film. Now more than ever, your support is essential in sustaining Enzian’s future. Please consider a gift to help bridge this funding gap and keep cinema in Central Florida alive and accessible to all. Here’s how you can help today: 1.    Make a Donation Only 25% of Enzian’s operating income is derived from ticket sales. Make a donation today and your generosity will directly support our mission!  2.    Join the Enzian Film Society With an Enzian membership, you can receive exclusive presales, ticket discounts, table reservations, and other amazing perks. 3.    Become a Sponsor Enzian could not bring the community together at our numerous screenings, festivals, and special events without the generous support of corporate sponsors. https://lnkd.in/eurNqYY7

Nice to be mentioned as one of the success stories!

National Hug a Musician Day celebrates musicians and their contributions to art, culture, and emotional well-being. I can get on board with this since my wife is a musician. I hope that there is a National Hug a Singer day down the road. IYKYK. In the context of estate planning, this day underscores the value of supporting the arts and the creators behind it. Musicians often face unique financial and career challenges, making long-term planning and support vital for their stability. Through thoughtful estate planning, individuals can support music and musicians by establishing charitable trusts, donating to music-focused organizations, or even setting up scholarships for young musicians. Additionally, musicians themselves may benefit from estate planning strategies that protect their intellectual property and ensure that royalties and creative works provide for their loved ones and continue to inspire future generations.

We're sharing information about a few of the great organizations that we supported through the Red Oak Opportunity Foundation (ROOF) in our latest blog post. We encourage you to learn and support them as well. Despite market volatility in 2023, the ROOF pulled together to distribute over $90,000 to East Bay nonprofits. The funds were distributed to 21 charities that directly benefit East Bay communities.
