The Future Of Cultural Funding - Panel #1

THE FUTURE OF CULTURAL FUNDING: Navigating the Changing Landscape
PANELS:
PANEL ONE: FUNDING TYPES
MODERATOR: John Cusano, Consultant
GOVERNMENT: Senator Tony Hwang, Connecticut State Senator
INDIVIDUALS: Joseph Pucci, Jr., Philanthropist
FOUNDATIONS: Holly Hotchner, Holly Hotchner Consulting
CORPORATIONS: Stuart Katz, Cohen & Wolf
PANEL TWO: GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS
MODERATOR: Kathy Maher, Barnum Museum

COUNTY: Juanita James, Fairfield County’s Community Foundation
TOWN: Rina Bakalar Town of Trumbull
The cultural funding landscape continues to shift in many ways, as funders change priorities, resources are re-allocated, systems face increasing complexity, and communities articulate changing needs. In this environment, organizations can discover opportunities to initiate new strategies to work co-creatively with constituents and funders to support new programs as well as their own operations.
Arts and culture is funded by government agencies, individuals, foundations and corporations - operating variously at national, state, county and town levels. All funders have their own individual interests, values and beliefs and, as a reaction to external stimuli and internal changes, are often refocusing their priorities and realigning their vision.
As cultural organizations plan their programming and sources of funding, to which groups or individuals should they look for support? How can they develop and deepen relationships with these funders? How can cultural groups navigate the need to adopt new approaches, methodologies and suggestions from funders, with the need to continuously reinterpret their mission and sustain their annual expenses?
The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County invites funders—with their different perspectives and beliefs about funding—and its arts and humanities constituents—with their questions about local and national developments—to participate in this conversation to increase the level of communication between funders and funded, and to assist organizations to think through new approaches they might need to adopt in the coming years.

The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is a 501(c)(3) organization. We are very grateful for the support of our individual and organization members, our individual donors and the following organizations.

Connecticut Valley Hospital - (Before the fire) Old Haunted Buildings
These old dilapidated buildings are now gone because of a recent fire, they recently demolished them. Along with all of the other haunted locations. I think it's because it is a state owned facility now. But at one time there was at least 10 haunted buildings. I have heard stories of the Military doing things like electro-shock therapy and lobotomies. Also, there are haunted graveyards arund here that are numbered grave markers. I looked it up and some are entire cemeteries of children that died of Tuberculosis...
