Especially coming at this with some experience in the fundraising world, I have again and again encountered the limitations Pallotta is railing against–nonprofits consistently feeling the pressure to do more with less, to spend so very sparingly on their expertise and equipment and no one daring to question the long-term implications of these expectations. Another important voice on this issue, specific to the arts world, is Michael Kaiser who, since the economic downturn in 2008, has argued strongly against nonprofits making cuts to their programming in order to achieve financial stability; like Kaiser, I agree that doing so cuts into a nonprofit’s value and, after enough cuts, there’s hardly an organization left worth supporting.

Looking forward to part two!

I saw the video last week and have been turning it over in my head since – can’t wait to read your part II.
