Come Learn about the
             California Cultural Data Project

Discover how your data can work for you.

Beginning in January 2008, the Cultural Data Project will launch in California. The California Cultural Data Project (California CDP) is a state-wide collaborative effort and is the result of a unique partnership of public and private funders.

The California CDP will provide a standardized online system for collecting historical financial and organizational data and it will be used for grant applications to many of the participating funders throughout California. Organizations only need to complete a Data Profile (the online form used for collecting financial and other operational information) once each fiscal year.

The California CDP will provide the cultural community with consistent and comprehensive data on arts and culture in the state, enabling organizations to view trends in their data and benchmark themselves against peer organizations. The California CDP will also allow organizations to view reliable data about the cultural sector and enhance both the individual organizational capacity as well as the overall effectiveness of the nonprofit cultural community.

Learn how the California CDP
will benefit your organization.
Attend a California CDP Information Session.

These important information sessions will provide you with an overview of the California Cultural Data Project and how it will be used. The sessions will also demonstrate how cultural organizations can use the California CDP to view important trends and compare how they operate relative to their peers and the community at large.

This session is hosted by San Francisco Arts Commission, San Francisco Foundation, San Francisco Grants for the Arts, The James Irvine Foundation and California Arts Council.

Space is limited to 2 people per organization.
Refreshments will be served.

If you have problems registering, call the California CDP at 1-866-9-CAL-CDP.

The California Cultural Data Project is made possible through the leadership of California Arts Council, Los Angeles County Arts Commission, The Getty Foundation, The James Irvine Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
and is administered by The Pew Charitable Trusts
