Support

This component of the General Funding Program provides arts organizations with the opportunity to solicit donations from the community as a third party fundraiser for the Conseil. The organizations’ fundraising activities increase the Conseil’s ability to financially support the arts.

Lunch & Learn: Philanthropy sessions are roundtable discussions, talks and workshops to help managers, directors, volunteers and cultural workers learn about different types of fundraising campaigns and tools to attract and mobilize donors and volunteers.

Cultural philanthropy internships

This program enables an arts management student to be hosted in a Montreal arts institution for a paid internship lasting several months. The Conseil works in partnership with Montreal arts institutions to offer a first work experience in philanthropy in the cultural sector and to allow for professional enrichment. Students will be supervised by their university, and the internship will be part of their university curriculum. This program is financially supported by the Caisse Desjardins de la Culture and benefits from pedagogical support from HEC Montréal. To see the latest interns and internships, click here.

Co-development groups

In partnership with the Conseil, the Conversations philanthropiques en culture co-development groups enable you to learn how to help and be helped in problem-solving. Each participant takes it in turns to talk about a problem they’ve experienced, and receives sound advice from a group of peers in a climate of trust, respect and mutual support.

Regroupement un acte en Théâtre

This alliance of 19 theatres in Montréal and Quebec City comes together to collectively reflect on individual gifts to cultivate and promote this type of philanthropy among its audiences. With support from the Conseil, the group meets monthly for workshops, training, and discussions on best practices and collaborative work related to various philanthropy issues and more specifically, how to grow individual donations.
