California CDP Information Session, San Francisco (Morning)

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.

will benefit your organization.
