How can outdoor arts organisations build financial resilience and diversify income while keeping community impact at their core?
We’re delighted to be co-presenting one of Outdoor Arts UK’s Winter Webinar series with Wild Rumpus. The session will explore how impact investment can complement grants and sponsorship options, helping organisations build on their creative strengths and realise their financial and social goals.
James Cross will lead with an introduction to our £16 million Arts & Culture Impact Fund, and Rowan Cannon, director of Wild Rumpus, will talk about how the organisation used investment from Figurative to support a strategic shift in direction – diversifying income through commissions, touring work and new events, building financial reserves for quieter periods, and funding essential redevelopment at their facilities.
The session will finish with an opportunity for open discussion and to ask questions. Whether you’re curious about repayable finance, would like to understand the benefits and risks, or just want to learn more about the fund, please do join us.
