Tip #3: Already digital? Scale up!
You’re not undertaking your first digital initiative—you simply want to scale up or enhance the impact of something you already do? Our Fund might be right for you!
If you have an existing initiative that shares artistic and literary works, enhances the public’s artistic experience, or broadens participation and citizen engagement, take a look at the Fund’s Public Access to the Arts and Citizen Engagement component.
Or, if you have an existing initiative that transforms the way you work to address the challenges and seize the opportunities for development and outreach through digital initiatives, take a look at the Fund’s Transformation of Organizational Models component.
Examples of how you could use these components include:
- Expanding the reach of your existing service to make access more inclusive;
- Migrating to an open source or open data model;
- Implementing strategies that will improve your initiative’s sustainability.
See funded initiatives that already received support to scale up the digital impact.
