The Network financial needs are fueled in part by annual Membership dues and then enhanced by low product and service fees for areas that are not provided as part of the bundled services covered by dues. The Network financial needs are also supported by outside funders and individual donations. Their generous assistance can benefit specific Network programs that provide programs for member organizations. In addition, as a 501(c)3 organization, contributions to the Tessitura Network are eligible for tax benefits as applicable by tax code. The Tessitura Network will send appropriate records and acknowledgements for contributions.
A “traditional” grant or contribution to an organization benefits a single arts or cultural organization and the good work that they do. That type of support is required to keep the arts and cultural organizations alive. The Tessitura Network presents a broader opportunity for funding to benefit arts and cultural organizations on a national and global scale. As a nonprofit member-owned cooperative company we have no outside investors or shareholders. Our nonprofit users/ members are our “owners.” Funding opportunities exist for:
- Targeted educational programs on topics of interest
- Training programs for members including the opportunity to pilot and sponsor “boot camp” intensive small group hands-on training sessions
- Future generation software envisioning
- Future generation software development
- Future generation software implementation
- Sponsorship of all or parts of licenses for small to medium sized nonprofits thus allowing for use of the leading software in this sector for more organizations. The benefits of the software will allow for more efficient operations. Once granted, the licenses are perpetual
- Funding for an open community knowledgebase and community and learning web presence
- Training programs at the leading learning and knowledge sharing conference for arts and cultural organizations
- Live monthly webinar sessions on topics that are relevant to the Tessitura Network Community
- New programs are introduced all the time
- Programs can be tailored to meet the desires of funders assuming that those desires fit with the purpose and priorities of the Tessitura Network
Funding opportunities are 100% program restricted and thus are used 100% for purposes that directly benefit member organizations through programs run or licensed by the Tessitura Network.
