[Fredslist] Fundraising for Arts & Culture

[Geri Thomas]

Dear Gothamites:  Wanting to know more about arts and cultural
fundraising? There's still time to register for my popular Fundraising for
the Arts course at NYU.  In one weekend, you'll be able to find money and
resources for non-profit arts and cultural organizations.  A recent
participant obtained $150K for her organization based on the work she did
in this class. Please let me know if you have any questions.  Cheers!
