Start-Ups and
Performance Groups
Most start-ups spin their wheels for the first 6 months to 2 years. Like most performance groups they're founded on the talents of a select group of brilliant individuals with equally brilliant dreams and ideals. But they can quickly founder when proper care isn’t put into refining the mission and vision, developing a solid business model and establishing a healthy working environment.
What's the difference between Mission and Vision? And how do they effect funding? Should we become a 501(c)3? Do by-laws really matter? Who should be on our board and what role do we want them to play? There are only 4 of us, do we really need HR policies? How do we develop income streams, or more to the point, how do we develop meaningful and sustainable income streams?
ALI's goal is to help you to hit the ground running, to develop a reliable route to organizational stability, and to establish the type of mission-focused protocols that will carry you to your next phase of organizational growth.
Not sure what this all means for you, your non-profit or your ensemble? Call or send an email. Our first consultation with all start-ups or performing ensembles is always free.
ALI is a broad based consultancy serving non-profits at the intersection of the Arts, Education and Social Services
