Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is an honor to share with you the Cultural Alliance’s 2006 Annual Report. Together we have made remarkable progress in advancing the sector not just this past year, but the last several. Your investment of time, energy and passion in Greater ’s cultural product is paying big dividends. Not only has the quality and diversity of our product expanded, but our impact is being felt in all parts of the Philadelphia region. It’s clear that culture has become a core element of our region’s renaissance, and one of the defining differences that sets us apart from other metropolitan areas.

f y 2006 was a productive year, as together we continued to make excellent progress on the 5-year goals laid out in the Cultural Alliance’s 2005–2010 strategic plan. This annual report details our progress in each of the Alliance’s key functional areas: cultural policy, marketing, grantmaking and member services.

My deepest thanks to the members, staff, board and supporters of the Cultural Alliance for helping bring these plans to fruition. We have come so far, yet there is much work still to do. I look forward to the road ahead.

Peggy Amsterdam President Mission · Vision · Goals the mission statement

The mission of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance is to lead the effort to expand awareness of, participation in and support for arts and culture in the region.

the vision statement

The Greater Philadelphia region is a place where people are passionately involved in and supportive of arts and culture, and a place admired throughout the world for its quality of life made possible by diverse cultural experiences and creativity.

goals/objectives

The Cultural Alliance has six goals to leverage the collective strength of its members:

goal 1 To Increase Support for the Cultural Sector

goal 2 To Sustain and Grow Awareness of the Cultural Sector

goal 3 To Increase Participation in Arts and Culture

goal 4 To Provide Non-Profit Cultural Organizations with Direct Services that Increase Income, Increase Capacity or Decrease Costs

goal 5 To Capitalize on the Role that Arts and Culture Can Play in Broader Community and Regional Public Policy

goal 6 To Sustain the Organization so that it is Progressive, Dynamic, Effective, Well Managed and Financially Stable

01 Cultural Policy ne of the Cultural Alliance’s central, ongoing roles is to promote the urgency and importance of OO adequate arts funding. This year, we’re pleased to report public funding increases at all three levels of government: local, state and federal.

In Philadelphia, the Cultural Fund received a 5% increase to $2,100,000. At the State level, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania increased its budget for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) by $725,000 to $15,225,000. The Commonwealth also increased its commitment to libraries, with a 19% increase to $75.5 million. In both cases, the Cultural Alliance’s work opposing the proposed Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) legislation helped keep state funding for culture intact.

At the Federal level, the National Endowment for the Arts’ budget increased 4% to $124.4 million. The National Endowment for the Humanities increased 3.5% to $145.9 million.

In addition to these immediate gains, the Alliance continued to pursue its long-term objective of establishing a regional funding mechanism. We created a Board-level task force on regional funding, which meets bi-monthly and is focused on getting increased funding for arts and culture on the agenda of candidates running for Mayor and City Council in Philadelphia in 2007.

Kudos to you and your staff on the launch of the Advocacy Action Center...The work you are doing in raising awareness among your constituents, providing easy to use tools, and leading by example is a model I think all cities should follow....I am continually inspired by your work in Philly.

Jeffrey Poulos, Executive Director, StageSource, Boston

In f y 2006, the Alliance launched the Online Advocacy Action Center, which enables constituents to communicate quickly and easily with elected officials at all levels of government. This innovative approach required the integration of three vendors to ensure that arts advocates can seamlessly locate and communicate with officials at the federal, state and local levels.

Your Online Advocacy Action Center is a terrific source for members and citizens to engage their elected officials. Congratulations as the Cultural Alliance continues to be a progressive cutting edge organization.

Les Fry, Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce

02 Cultural Policy Understanding the importance of having hard data to measure the scope and health of our industry and inform our decision making, in f y 2006 the Alliance’s research department aggressively pursued the compilation and interpretation of data for the Pennsylvania Cultural Data Project (PACDP). We recruited 218 organizations to participate, and then contracted with the Pennsylvania Economy League to work with us to analyze and interpret the data. The long-anticipated findings of the PACDP are contained in the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance 2006 Portfolio.

Continuing our emphasis on regionalism, the Cultural Alliance’s county outreach staff now provides technical assistance to ten communities pursuing arts-based revitalization, including five new communities of: Lansdale, Lansdowne, Media, Newtown and Phoenixville. This work included leveraging grants, arts council formation, and cultural district development.

To further support regional revitalization and ensure that we remain at the forefront of this trend, the Alliance presented Culture as Catalyst, a summit of 60 community leaders focused on arts-based revitalization. In our role as a key regional convener, the Alliance also sought to enhance the effectiveness of service organizations that support arts and culture by co-convening At Your Service. The two-day conference helped to define the service discipline, reveal common issues and challenges and provide a framework for advancing joint projects.

The Cultural Alliance’s cultural policy activities were made possible, in part, by a grant from the William Penn Foundation. Additional support was provided by The Pew Charitable Trusts; the Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, administered by Drexel University; Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; and the Otis Morse Advocacy Scholarship Fund.

03 Marketing n FY 2006, the Cultural Alliance experienced consistent growth in all marketing programs. In particular, the Alliance I built on the successful relaunch of its PhillyFunGuide.com site to expand the overall marketing reach of members. Since the relaunch in May 2005, traffic to the online calendar of events has tripled to over 150,000 visitors per month.

The Cultural Alliance has also continued to expand cultural partnerships, with seven umbrella tourism and marketing sites now using the PhillyFunGuide.com events database: Center City District, Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, Independence Visitor Center, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, University City District and Valley Forge Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Alliance has also secured key media partnerships for the calendar with KYW News Radio, Philadelphia Magazine and Philly.com.

I’m writing to thank you for featuring our concert, Missa Gaia, in PhillyFunGuide.com. Our concert took place last night, and our attendance was up by 50% over last year! Many people mentioned having seen the listing on PhillyFunGuide, so I wanted to thank you....

Our companion online marketing tool, FunSavers, helped members to sell unused ticket inventory while developing new audiences. In f y 2006, this last-minute, half price e-mail initiative generated a record $475,000 in revenue for our members by selling 30,000 seats that otherwise would have gone empty. Weekly subscribers to the service also hit an all time high of 50,000. They also had access to more events than ever, receiving 710 offers (up 22% over last year.)

I have seen so many great shows and been advised of so many great things happening in the city. You know – I never really took advantage of being so close to Philadelphia until I signed up and now I look forward to finding out what’s happening and how I can be a part of it! Thanks!

04 Marketing Communications and public relations were also a major focus in f y 2006. The Alliance raised the profile of Philadelphia’s cultural sector both locally and nationally by helping to place 157 media stories including coverage by the City Paper, NBC-10, Los Angeles Times, Philadelphia Business Journal, , Philadelphia Inquirer, , WHYY, and WPVI-TV. Our research and outreach efforts helped lead to a major, front page piece in the Sunday edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer (Patricia Horn, Area basks in $1B of culture, 10/5/05).

Cultural Alliance staff also presented at several national leadership forums including the Association of Performing Arts Service Organizations, Global Creative Economy Summit, National Arts Marketing Project Conference, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Franklin Forum.

In f y 2006 the Cultural Alliance’s capacity building programs strengthened the marketing capability of member organizations. Our $319,000 cooperative advertising program enhanced the affordability and visibility of print and radio advertising for 40 members. For the fourth year in a row, the Philadelphia Cultural List Cooperative reached a record high, with 65 participating organizations combining to build a joint list of 400,000 names, representing 20% of the region’s households.

Finally, our co-mentorship program enabled 26 of the region’s cultural marketers to learn from each other and attend the National Arts Marketing Conference together in Los Angeles.

The Cultural Alliance’s collaborative marketing activities were sponsored by a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts. Additional support was provided by PNC Bank; the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art; Claneil Foundation; Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, administered by Drexel University; Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation; and Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation. In-kind support was provided by Amtrak, KYW News Radio, Philadelphia City Paper, Philadelphia Inquirer, Philly.com; PW – Philadelphia Weekly, WHYY, WRTI 90.1 FM, and WXPN 88.5FM.

05 Grantmaking Y 2006 marked the fifth year of the Cultural Alliance’s grantmaking work. With support F from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Partners in the Arts program, our 5-County Arts Fund and Program Stream programs provide critical seed capital and early stage support to smaller organizations, individual artists and start-up projects.

In f y 2006 we made 170 re-grants totaling $389,000 throughout the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania. In addition, the Alliance worked with Montgomery County to secure additional matching funds for the 5-County Arts Fund – bringing their support to $15,000 (up 50% from last year), and opening doors for discussions about matching funds with government officials in other suburban counties.

Thank you so much for your continued generous support. The Arts Program (funded by 5-CAF) is a valued and empowering part of our work. Your partnership makes it possible for us to offer this important opportunity.

Sister Mary Scullion, Executive Director, Project H.O.M.E.

These grantmaking initiatives are a critical piece of our overall strategy of regional arts revitalization. Sixty-two percent of grantees were located in the suburban counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery, reflecting the importance of cultural development close to much of the region’s housing stock and new business development.

The 5-County Arts Fund was made possible through the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. It is funded by the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual legislative appropriation, and administered locally by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional support is provided by PECO, an Exelon Company. Some Montgomery County projects are also funded, in part, by an appropriation from Montgomery County.

06 Membership n FY 2006, the Cultural Alliance’s membership expanded for a fifth consecutive year, reaching an I all-time high of 333 members. We’re pleased to report that our membership has grown 50% in five years.

After years without a dues increase, in fy 2006, the Cultural Alliance implemented the first phase of a two-part dues increase. Fortunately, this did not adversely affect renewals, suggesting that despite the pressures of managing lean budgets, members continue to find excellent value in their Alliance investment. Our renewal rate for fy 2006 was 93%.

To ensure that all members got the most out of their participation in the Alliance, we held a Maximize Your Marketing and Membership forum at World Café Live in May 2006. The meeting provided cultural organizations with an introduction to the full array of services that the Alliance offers as part of its cultural policy, marketing and membership programs. Members were able to explore any of these programs in more detail at individual work tables with vendors and program managers.

In fy 2006, the Cultural Alliance also offered a range of workshops with nationally-recognized speakers on a range of current topics, including yield management and pricing, media relations, customer service, and advertising and media buying. We also introduced a new bi-monthly Research Roundtable Breakfast Club to enable Alliance members to read and interpret research together, while networking with peers.

Your service and support in helping us manage our Health Care is invaluable. You’re never more than a phone call away, and response is quick and courteous...no matter how many questions I have! Thank you.

Gary van Niekerk, Business Manager, Main Line Art Center

07 Financial Results he Cultural Alliance completed FY 2006 with unrestricted net assets of $720,000, after a loss of T $145,000 for the year. Despite this year’s operating deficit, the Alliance remains in solid financial shape, and maintains a reserve equal to the board target level of three months of operating expenses.

In f y 2006 the Alliance decided to postpone the start date of a major grant and draw down our reserve to assure a more stable funding stream for future years, which accounted for the operating deficit. The Alliance used the reserve to maintain all current programs, with no interruption or reduction in our cultural policy, marketing, membership or grantmaking services.

Major new grants this year included $1,350,000 from the William Penn Foundation for cultural policy (for f ys 2007–2009), $433,000 from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for re-granting initiatives, $60,000 from Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative for the Online Advocacy Action Center, and $35,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts for collaborative marketing. The NEA application was showcased for the National Council by program staff as “best we’ve seen.”

Ongoing support from multiyear grants awarded in previous years includes $2,000,000 over three years from The Pew Charitable Trusts for the Campaign for Culture and $75,000 over three years from the Independence Foundation in general operating support.

In addition, the Alliance saw a 23% increase in earned income over the previous fiscal year, led by strong growth in membership revenue, co-op advertising and display advertising.

Operating support for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance was provided by the William Penn Foundation; Philadelphia Cultural Leadership Program, sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts; Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; Independence Foundation; Grace Hamill Memorial Fund, Hermann K. Platt Fund, Charles and Caroline Reed Memorial Fund, and an Anonymous Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation; Philadelphia Cultural Fund; Arcadia Foundation; Barra Foundation; and the Cultural Alliance’s Board of Directors and individual donors.

08 Only through art can we get outside of ourselves and know another’s view of the universe which is not the same as ours and see landscapes which would otherwise have remained unknown to us like the landscapes of the moon. Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.

—Marcel Proust
