We are thrilled to announce we are part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator program through September 2025!
With this generous support, we are creating a data center that can scale with our organization’s growth. This center will also offer us the much-needed space to house all those digitized assets returning from our restoration efforts following the 2022 flood. In addition, we are taking this opportunity to dream up new ways we can partner with other nonprofits in the region. For instance, this program will allow us to provide technical evaluations, resources, and mentorship.
Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator helps arts organizations like us stabilize and thrive in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic through strategic improvements to our technology infrastructure. The program supports leadership development and infrastructure investment that builds audiences, increases fundraising, drives revenue, delivers dynamic programming, and helps us work more efficiently and effectively in support of our strategic objectives.
We are so grateful—thank you Bloomberg Philanthropies!
