Arts & Business is holding its second annual Frontline Fundraising Symposium on 
17 February at King’s Place, London. At the one-day event philanthropists, arts 
leaders and expert commentators aim to guide sector through the tough months ahead.

Verity Haines National Arts Director Arts & Business, said: “Cultural fundraisers
continue to produce astounding results, but they are perpetually being asked to 
achieve more with less. Our second annual fundraising symposium will provide the
right practical advice and expert voices to help unlock additional funding for all
our cultural partners.

“We cannot just focus on “quick fix” fundraising, we need the right plans and “asks”
in place to benefit from a culture of sustainable partnerships and life-long giving.”

She added that 2011 would be a pivotal year for many in the arts. “The impact of
recent cuts”, she said, “will hit harder and there will be winners and losers. The
introduction of Arts Council England’s new national portfolio; the detail of the
lottery funded matching grant programme, local authority decisions and possible 
changes in the public’s approach to giving following the Giving Green Paper – all
these have ramifications for cultural budgets. As always cultural fundraisers will
need to remain tenacious, skilful, confident and focussed.”
