The TCA Tools for Results Tool-kit
was developed as a resource for non-profit arts and cultural
organizations in Texas and beyond. The Tool-kit is a collaborative
project made possible with the help of the Meadows Foundation and
Ballet Austin, and a host of other organizations that generously
agreed to share their resources. TCA uses in-text citations
throughout the Tool-kit in acknowledging those sources.
The Tool-kit covers six topic areas: Fundraising & Development,
Programs & Exhibitions, Cultural Tourism, Marketing, Advocacy, and
Nonprofit Basics. Each section covers the basics, relevant concepts,
best practices, things to consider, ideas for implementing change,
common mistakes, ways to get started, do’s and don’ts, and how-to’s
on a variety of topics. The “tools” are the sample forms, letters,
documents, checklists, templates, and other resources. The intention
is for nonprofits to take these “tools” and adapt them for their own
purposes.
