Operations Planning Sessions by Benvenuti Arts

Benvenuti Arts (BA) works with arts-based nonprofits – from performing collectives to community art centers and educational institutions – to strengthen operations, grow fundraising capacity, and plan sustainably.

BA Sessions & Seminars are small-group, working-style, online programs designed to be practical, accessible, and immediately useful for small and medium-sized teams. These aren’t lectures. Each Session or Seminar combines guided group work with direct support from BA consultants, so you leave with ready-to-use materials and a framework tailored to your organization's needs.

Operations Planning Sessions are a 3-meeting series during which a BA Consultant will walk you through the creation of a 3-year plan with annual goals, quarterly metrics for year one, and a 3-year budget based on the plan. This is not a strategic planning process, which is typically longer with stakeholder interviews and Board support. Instead, we will help you determine your organization's ambitious and achievable goals in this process. Dates of the sessions: April 14th, 16th, 28th at 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM ET.

This is for you if...:

• You're running an arts-based organization with a budget of under $750K OR you're an independent artist who doesn't have the time to create a robust planning system on your own or the resources to pay an outside consultant for that.
• You feel overwhelmed by the necessity to plan your operations well in advance while meeting your commitments, and would love professional and community support to figure it out.
• You want to improve your organization's existing planning and operational framework
• The Sessions' description just sounds like what you need for any other reason :)
