For a brief discussion of this challenge in context\, see The Money We Need by David Maggs. \nWe warmly invite arts organizations\, cultural institutions\, and creative enterprises to participate in an interactive and insightful three-hour workshop designed to demystify social finance. \nThis workshop represents a valuable opportunity to collectively envision how repayable finance can enhance your mission\, organizational stability\, and long-term impact. \nHosted by Michael Trent and David Maggs from the Metcalf Foundation\, this engaging session will: \n\nIntroduce the fundamental concepts of social finance\, showcasing how repayable\, low-interest loans\, supported by tailored assistance\, can transform organizational capacities and strengthen cultural impact.\nPresent inspiring examples from Canada and around the globe\, highlighting successful applications of social finance within the arts.\nFacilitate collaborative exploration of practical\, real-world use cases tailored specifically to arts organizations\, enabling participants to identify potential opportunities within their own contexts.\nFoster dialogue and shared learning\, helping us better understand and address the unique challenges and needs of cultural nonprofits.\n\nThe workshop is open to more than one person from your organization\, ideally senior staff and board volunteers. \nThe following day (June 6)\, Michael and David will make themselves available by appointment for one-on-one sessions to further explore your interest in this practice. \nWe look forward to your participation as we work towards a transformative and sustainable financial future for Canada’s arts community together.
