1414.1 Partnerships are tools for organizational innovation and growth that cross-pollinate cultural organizations and consumers with new ideas and experiences. They bring two or more organizations together through a balance of investment and trust. The cultural community uses several types of partnerships, including those between the public and private sector, foundations and cultural organizations, large institutions and community-based organizations, economic development organizations and creative organizations, and cultural organizations with cultural consumers. Each type of partnership helps the cultural community create the space and cultural presentations that reflect the District’s diversity and heritage.
1414.2 Partnerships should be framed with a clear focus on goals, such as improving youth exposure and access to cultural experiences. Funding organizations, including corporations, foundations, government institutions, and individual funders, are important parts of many partnerships. Two of the most important funders are the NEA and National Endowment for Humanities. These organizations provide systemic and project funding programs that support high-impact cultural works District-wide.
