Mission
The Cultural Data Project (CDP)’s mission is to strengthen the national nonprofit arts and cultural sector by collecting and disseminating comprehensive, high-quality longitudinal data that supports fact-based decision-making in three key ways:
- It helps arts and cultural organizations improve their financial management and services to their communities.
- It enables researchers, advocates and policy makers to better tell the story of the sector’s assets, contributions and needs.
- It helps grantmakers more effectively plan for and evaluate their individual and collective grantmaking activities.
