Our Impact

Testimonial

“If every state in the nation were using CDP, this data could be a tool for advocacy and growth in the arts like we have not seen before.”

- Janet Brown, Executive Director, Grantmakers in the Arts

Impact

The CDP impacts the cultural community in the following ways:

  • Individual arts and cultural organizations improve their financial and operational capacity to serve their constituents better.
  • Fact-based information advances learning and exchange among the cultural sector, policymakers and civic leaders.
  • Funders plan for and evaluate their individual and collective grantmaking activities more effectively.
