Leaders Day Camp – June 27th, 2025 – NYC

The world keeps on changing, which can make it difficult to plan ahead. This summer, Benvenuti Arts wants to help you prepare for whatever comes next with our Leaders Day Camp. In partnership with IndieSpace, Benvenuti Arts is inviting small or midsize arts organizations to join us for one day, during which participating organizations will:

Create a practical three-year organizational plan with quarterly metrics for year one;
Create the bones of a boilerplate document, and learn how to use it to make grant writing easier; and
Create a spreadsheet of potential grants that are right for your organization through learning how to research and prioritize grants’ applications.

Our consultants will be present to provide feedback 1:1, and we also will coordinate peer-to-peer feedback to enhance support and collaboration within the community. During the month following Day Camp, participants will receive our feedback on the individual boilerplates.

There is space for only 10 organizations, with up to 2 people welcome from each organization. This is most appropriate for nonprofit or fiscally sponsored arts organizations with budgets of $100,000 to $1M. Registration is $500 per organization. Until June 6th, we are offering early bird pricing.

Time & Venue: 9am – 5pm EST. West Village Rehearsal Co-Op, 68 Gansevoort Street, NYC.

Boilerplate Writing: a living document and grant writing tool to make your language stronger, and simplify the grant writing process.

Fundraising Event Planning: a guide to create a thorough action plan for a fundraising event reflecting your organization and values.

All videos have options for “bundles,” which provide 1:1 time for a higher fee.
