How to Fund Your Program |
ArtREACH is a unique program that blends social
services, academic assistance, and the arts in a comprehensive,
free after school program for homeless children. Because of the
strong partnership between museum and social services.
Funding can often be procured through sources beyond those normally
accessed by museums, thus expanding a museum's philanthropic and
grants-based opportunities.
