Critically discuss the role of arts and cultural leaders in supporting fundraising in arts
organisations
Introduction
In recent research commissioned by the Clore Leadership Programme (TBR, 2013), when
asked to comment on their future training needs, aspiring cultural leaders overwhelmingly
highlighted the importance of improving their abilities in regard to fundraising and
philanthropic activity. Here, fundraising and philanthropy ranked as highly as strategic
planning, setting the vision and lobbying; typically considered more traditional leadership
responsibilities. Alongside this, the last five years has seen the development in literature
and discussion concerning trustee fundraising and the role of senior management and
governance bodies in tangibly supporting their organisations fundraising agenda (see
Hughes-Hallett, 2014; Perry, 2010).
As a result of the discussions detailed above, and the general trend of austerity cuts in the
cultural sector, it is now broadly acknowledged that the involvement of cultural leaders is
crucial to successful fundraising. This literature has moved little further than
acknowledgement however, lacking analysis of the specific role(s) of cultural leaders in
supporting fundraising (Harris, 2001). Where literature does detail the varied roles of
cultural leaders, discussion often fails to acknowledge the autonomy and needs of
employees, focusing on what leaders could do, rather than the support employees require,
and what leaders should do.
In response to these concerns, this paper will seek to evidence and codify the role cultural
leaders can and should play in supporting fundraising. To understand this I will examine the
needs and expectations of fundraising staff within arts and cultural organisations, and in
turn the role of cultural leaders in responding to these needs. This approach is central to
ensuring training targeted at cultural leaders (see the Clore Leadership Programme, Oxford
Cultural Leaders Programme, Step Change Network) can be effectively and appropriately
implemented, in line with specific fundraising needs.
To approach this, I will first seek to understand the roles currently assigned to cultural
leaders, and their relationship to fundraising. This will highlight the intangible nature of
roles assigned to cultural leaders (inspirational, vision-oriented), and the difficulties
-

fundraisers face in understanding and applying these roles practically to the everyday
running of fundraising departments. I will then examine the common needs of fundraisers,
and the roles cultural leaders should play in tackling these challenges and supporting
fundraising and philanthropic activity. Conclusions will be drawn which highlight the
practical, functional roles of leaders in supporting fundraising activity, advocating for a
departure from trait-based conceptions of cultural leadership (charismatic.
transformational), and towards evidenced, everyday examples of the role of cultural
leaders in practically supporting fundraising activity.
Scope of the paper
It is important to note that in considering the role of cultural leaders, I am paying minimal
attention to the role of leaders as askers, and of elements of charismatic leadership
whereby a leader drives fundraising and philanthropic activity through their personality and
attracting followers (Arvidsson, 2009). These are well documented (see Richards and
Palmer, 2012; Pieterse, 2011), and lack consideration of the practical, functional roles of
cultural leaders in supporting fundraising and philanthropic activities within their
organisations. Through consideration of the needs and autonomy of fundraising employees
themselves, this paper takes a humanistic approach, advocating that the central factor to
the success or failure in fundraising is people (The Resource Alliance, 2014).
It is further important to acknowledge the relevance of this question in relation to the
current climate of austerity cuts within the cultural sector. As highlighted by Scaife et al.
(2014b, p.1) arts fundraising is becoming increasingly complex, and therefore any
examination of fundraising within contemporary arts organisations may become rapidly
outdated. In examining this question, therefore, it is important to understand the arts
organisations of the future, and how the role of leaders in relation to fundraising is likely to
change.

Arts and Cultural Leaders
For the purpose of this essay, cultural leaders are defined as those working at senior
(typically Chief Executive) roles within cultural organisations, rather than sector leaders and
government figureheads (known as cultural sector leaders). Whilst the latter group are
clearly influential, I am seeking to understand organisational leadership and how these
organisational leaders respond to calls for changing fundraising practice advocated for by
cultural sector leaders (see Jeffries, 2014 on private giving and Youngs, 2014 on
philanthropy). This stance is echoed by Holden (2011, p.180), commenting that in writing
about cultural leaders, I have in mind primarily people who are running or who are aspiring
to run both whole organisations, and the departments within them.
Understanding Cultural Leaders
In order to understand the role cultural leaders may play in supporting fundraising, we must
first examine the current roles assigned to cultural leaders. This is challenging, in part due to
the limited clarity within arts management literature of the definition of cultural managers,
and how leadership differs from this. This is particularly distinct in the cultural sector, where
the prominence of small organisations and flatter organisational structures has resulted in
unclear management/leadership responsibilities (Craig, 2014). Alongside this, leadership
roles vary significantly across the sector depending on the size of the organisation,
relationship to their audience and art form (Varbanova, 2013, p.13).
For the purpose of this paper cultural leaders will be defined as someone who by force of
example, talents or qualities of leadership plays a directing role [and] wields commanding
influence (Hagoort, 2005, p.193). This paper advocates the opinion of Sobas (2014, cited in
Craig 2014), that cultural leadership includes a kind of leadership on the ground in helping
folks work better, kinder, smarter, happier, etc. while still keeping managerial sight. In this
sense, leadership is understood as an examination of how the typically intangible roles of
leaders (inspirational, vision-oriented) are applied in practice. This differs from the role of
cultural managers, who are typically specialists in particular areas and are not expected to
exhibit the traits of leadership detailed above (inspirational, vision-oriented).

Current Roles of Cultural Leaders
In defining cultural leadership, what emerges most clearly is the notion that cultural leaders
are expected to hold an immense variety of roles, described by Leicester (2007, p.6) as a
range of human capacities little short of the miraculous. The diversity of these roles is
illustrated below:
Figure 1: Current roles of cultural leaders
(Table created by author, 2014)
The roles detailed above primarily consider the character, personality traits and demeanour
of cultural leaders. This approach is prominent amongst cultural leadership literature, with
Leicester (2007, p.15) noting that key to understanding cultural leadership is
acknowledgement that it is not what we do, but who we are that matters most.
This emphasis on character and who we are is challenging, implying that cultural
leadership cannot be taught. Whilst this paper disagrees with this approach, focusing
instead on the learnable skills, knowledge and behaviours (Hoyle and Armstrong-Williams,
2011) of cultural leadership, it is important to note the resonance between the roles
outlined above and the central tenets of fundraising: vision and change.

Fundraising
Despite the resonance between the commonly noted roles of cultural leaders and
fundraising outlined above, Scaife et al. (2014a, p.1) draw awareness to the sometimes
dichotomous thinking between fundraisers and organisational leaders. As such, we must
corroborate literature considering both the roles of cultural leaders, and the support
fundraisers require, to understand if this dichotomous thinking is apparent, and if so, the
scale of this disconnect and how this can be challenged.
To understand the requirements of fundraisers this paper draws from a range of literature
examining fundraising effectiveness theory (see Scott, 2014; Bell and Cornelius, 2013; Scaife
et al., 2013, 2014a, 2014b). This examines the intraorganisational and extraorganisational
factors (Scott, 2014) influencing the success of fundraisers within non-profit organisations,
focusing primarily on intraorganisational factors including leadership and management. This
literature highlights key challenges and areas of support for fundraisers, and as such can be
referenced to understand the role of cultural leaders in supporting fundraising and
philanthropic activity.
The following examination of the role of cultural leaders in supporting fundraising and
philanthropic activity will be organised under two primary subheadings:
- Organisational Structures
- Personality and Skills
Organisational Structures
Non-hierarchical structures
There is much commentary concerning organisational structures within the cultural sector,
with specific discussion examining the prominence of non-hierarchical organisational
structures, greater employee autonomy and less defined responsibilities (see Bilton, 2007;
Henry 1991; Henry 2001; Davis and Scase 2000). This is generally seen as positive, with a
recent poll examining arts leadership concluding that organizations that are thriving are
ones where the leaders empower others and distribute responsibilityand source good
ideas from all levels and parts of the organization (Frasz, 2012).
-

It is important to understand organisational structures in reference to fundraising, and the
influence of non-hierarchical structures, autonomy and influence upon fundraising
effectiveness. Reflecting upon the factors which motivate fundraisers, consultant Stephen
Pidgeon (2014), comments when I ask my diploma students to describe the times they
have felt super-motivated, there are only two answers when they achieve something
themselves and when that achievement is recognised by management. This implies the
importance of autonomy and empowerment in the motivation of fundraisers, with Jenkins
(2012) further noting that the true challenge in supporting fundraisers is distinguishing
between what is in their control, what is not, where the responsibility really lies.
This configuration of hierarchies, autonomy and motivation can be applied to the role of
cultural leaders, acknowledging how different styles of leadership may influence fundraising
effectiveness. Tusa (2014, p.79) comments all notions of leadership and the way it is
practiced cannot escape grappling with and resolving issues revolving around authority,
power, influence and hierarchy. In their 2010 examination of the Royal Shakespeare
Companys (RSC) organisational reconfiguration, Hewison et al. (2010, p. 18) discuss the
value of new leadership structures in reconciling the individuals needs for creative
expression, reward, and liberty, with the need to be part of a social system that is efficient,
responsive and liberating. This paper would therefore suggest the role of cultural leaders is
to understand the motivations of fundraising employees, their working style (autonomy),
and to give them a voice and a seat at the table (influence) (Hudson, 2001, p.242).
Examples of this approach to leadership are evident in the cultural sector. Graham Boxer,
currently Director at Imperial War Museums North comments for me, openness, honesty
and inclusivity are important values for team leadership and I enjoy seeing others
empowered (Caines, 2012a). Here, Boxer acknowledges the role of cultural leaders in
developing a responsive environment, where staff are liberated and feel able to contribute
to strategic and leadership practice alongside their own work. Likewise, Sue Hoyle, Director
of the Clore Leadership Programme, comments on her admiration of Tessa Ross1, described
as generous and self-effacing (Hoyle, 2013), looking to share success with others and
empower her employees. Similarly, in a recent study examining the characteristics which

fundraisers most appreciate in a leader, Scaife et al. (2013, p.24) note giv[ing] other people
the ownership for results and invests in their success as the most popular response.
This approach may not only assist the motivation and effectiveness of fundraising staff, but
also ensure the organisation does not experience mission-drift and a diversion from their
key goals. Fundraisers frequently face the challenge of ideas and visions from leadership
which do not relate to the organisations mission. Whilst it is the role of the fundraiser to
drive the achievement of the organisations mission, often cultural leaders will promote a
specific vision, perhaps related to personal preference, which ultimately can result in
mission drift2. By providing fundraisers with autonomy, influence and a seat at the table,
cultural leaders can ensure organisational productivity, with fundraisers able to
acknowledge instances of mission drift.
Culture and Resources
Whilst the discussion above considers the role of cultural leadership in the autonomy and
motivation of individual employees, we must also understand how these employees are
positioned within the broader team and organisational structure of cultural organisations. A
common challenge faced by fundraisers within cultural organisations is their relationship to
the artistic teams and programming department. For example, in a recent poll examining
arts leadership, one respondent commented:
the artistic leadership rules from above. They interact with artists and artistic staff
daily but only with marketing and fundraising staff when something is wrong. It does
not appear that the artistic leadership knows the temperature of activity company-
wide and does not value the role that all departments must play
(Frasz, 2012)
This implies the role of cultural leaders in promoting and embedding the value of
fundraising within their organisation, influencing the organisational culture in terms of
knowledge sharing, value and resources. This is widely acknowledged within cultural
leadership literature, with Leicester (2007, p.26) concluding that the critical role of

cultural leadership [is] putting Humpty back together again. Likewise Glynn (2006, p.61, as
cited in Walmsley, 2014), describes the role of culture leaders as intermediaries, bringing
together different departments and mediating conflicts.
Despite this acknowledgement, it is unclear whether this approach is implemented in
practice. In researching intraorganisational challenges faced by fundraisers, Scaife et al.
(2013, p.17) concluded overwhelmingly that the most common challenge faced was poor
resourcing, implying that in terms of resourcing there exists a disconnect between theory
and practice. Similarly, in researching this paper, I was unable to find detailed discussion on
this topic from cultural leaders themselves, as opposed to academics studying cultural
leadership theory. This implies a role for cultural leaders in advocating for the value of
fundraising within their organisations (intraorganisational), and to the sector more broadly
(extraorganisational). A good example is set by Gavin Barlow, Chief Executive of the Albany,
who comments:
We don't see a divide between the artistic staff who do the work and the fundraising
staff who generate the money. The business staff are very creative in coming up with
ideas and the creative people really understand the flow of money in and out of the
building
(Caines, 2012b)
This paper would suggest it is crucial for cultural leaders to follow this lead, ensuring that
fundraising is a priority, and a shared responsibility, for the board, the executive director
and the staff alike (Bell and Cornelius, 2013, p.13). There is a clear opportunity here in
the same study examining intraorganisational challenges faced by fundraisers, amongst the
most infrequently faced challenges was fundraisers time. In this sense, with adequate
value associated with the role of fundraising, and in turn improved resources, fundraisers
can drive resilience and sustainability within cultural organisations, having the time available
to complete these tasks. Whilst it may be that perhaps this work simply is not publicised,
and there is not a disconnect between resourcing theory and resourcing practice, it is
nevertheless important for the sector to continue to advocate for the value of fundraising
within cultural organisations, with the importance of the role of fundraising to the sector
likely to continue to increase.

Personality and Skills
Knowledge
On his appointment as Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House in 2013, Alex Beard,
previously Deputy Director of Tate, was described as an unexpected appointment, a bolt
from the blue (Christiansen, 2013b). Going against predictions of well-connected arts
advisors (Ruth Mackenzie) and well-informed politicians (Chris Smith see Christiansen,
2013a), Mr Beard was described as an administrator and a money mansomeone who
understands the complexity of the fundraising climate (Christiansen, 2013b). In discussing
the challenges faced by fundraisers, Scaife et al. (2014a) note the challenge of limited
fundraising knowledge amongst organisational leaders, termed a critical and often lacking
element (2014a, p.1).
Similarly, Byrnes (2008, p.227), discusses the role of leaders in holding expert power,
based on a particular specialism and area of expertise. Where expert power may be
exhibited in terms of artistic direction and strategy (see Hoyles 2013 classification of Sir
Nicholas Serota at Tate, and Taylors 2013 account of Sir Nicholas Hytners tenure at the
National Theatre), there exists limited evidence of cultural leaders holding specific
knowledge concerning fundraising. This trend is noted by cultural leaders themselves, with
Jessica Hepburn, Executive Director of Lyric Hammersmith commenting I wish we would
see more people moving from these specialisms [fundraising] into executive roles, but sadly
it still seems to be relatively rare (Caines, 2013).
Limited knowledge of fundraising is certainly of concern to cultural leaders, with aspiring
leaders taking part in the Clore Leadership Programme highlighting their interest in
fundraising and philanthropy skills development (TBR, 2013). These concerns support the
central consideration of this paper, implying that the role of cultural leaders should not be
based on personality traits and characteristics (who we are), but instead on the practical
and everyday support leaders can offer through knowledge and expertise. In terms of
interventions and support, this point suggests the need for a learning dialogue between
fundraisers and cultural leaders, and for the representation of fundraising departments in
executive and leadership teams (Scott, 2014). Increased knowledge would certainly assist
fundraisers in tackling a similar challenge that fundraising is often seen as a necessary

evil by cultural leaders3. Further, as the challenge of arts fundraising continues to grow, and
the practice of fundraising becomes increasingly complex (Scaife et al. 2014b, p.1), the
relevance of fundraising knowledge amongst cultural leaders will become even clearer in
importance, and should be prioritised.
Commitment and Engagement
As noted above, whilst austerity cuts within the cultural sector are not a new phenomenon,
there exists limited knowledge of fundraising amongst cultural leaders. This has led some
commenters to question the degree of investment they [chief executives] are willing to
make (Scott, 2014, p.iv) in supporting fundraising. Discussions of the investment,
commitment and engagement of cultural leaders in fundraising is closely related to
questions of risk. Risk taking is a central tenet of leadership, with Tusa (2014, p.85)
commenting that the ability to choose between risk and failure is one of the most
important aptitudes that a leader can possess. An aversion to invest in fundraising
expertise, staff and technologies largely represents a trend of limited risk-taking amongst
cultural leaders.
In seeking to understand this trend, we can firstly examine high levels of turnover amongst
cultural leaders, related to what Hewison (2004) terms a crisis in cultural leadership. In a
review of the Californian arts sector, the typical tenure of an organisational director was
concluded to be as short as three years (AEA Consulting, 2006). From this perspective,
limited investment in fundraising expertise and development is understandable, with
cultural leaders facing an environment of change within their organisation. Similarly, a
culture of risk-aversion is prominent across many areas of cultural leadership, rather than
specifically concerning fundraising. Austerity cuts have encouraged safe choices (Boswell,
2014), with cultural leaders facing change within their organisation and within the arts and
cultural sector more broadly.
Whilst conclusions can be drawn around the role of cultural leaders in demonstrating an
authentic engagement with and commitment to fundraising, there is also a responsibility of
fundraising staff inherent here. Fundraisers must articulate their needs and concerns to

cultural leaders, and work with cultural leaders to develop fundraising initiatives with either
limited, or managed risk. An interesting example of this is Cardboard Citizens, a London-
based theatre company changing the lives of homeless and displaced people through the
performing arts. Through the support of engaged leadership, a development committee and
the development team, Cardboard Citizens have developed a strong, successful fundraising
message and campaign. For example, in its award-winning Annual Reports (see Third Sector,
2012), the organisation draws extremely clear connections between its organisational
mission and fundraising outcomes. This is an extremely inexpensive, low-risk initiative, but
has proven important in building the organisations profile (awarded for the quality of its
annual report), and a clearer case for support for funders to engage with. In this manner,
although a role exists for cultural leaders to engage more effectively with fundraising
practice, it is important to note that leadership exists at many levels within organisations
(Holden, 2011), and it is the responsibility of fundraisers to engage with, support and
understand the needs of cultural leaders, such as the need to develop low-risk initiatives.
Figureheads
Within many cultural organisations, and in the non-profit sector more broadly, the Chief
Executive (in this case, the cultural leader) is seen as the chief asker Scaife et al. (2013,
p.22). This is largely donor driven, with donors wishing to communicate with the authority
figure, and at times the personality and the artist. Reflecting upon the role of cultural
leaders as organisational figureheads, Wieke Eringa, Artistic Director of Yorkshire Dance
comments:
funders want access to the Artistic Director as often it's their vision they are
supporting. I had a call only last week from The Jerwood Foundation, they would not
have asked to speak to the Fundraising Director
(Smithers, 2014, p.3)
Whilst this is prevalent amongst the broader non-profit sector, the role of leaders as askers
and figureheads is particularly nuanced in the cultural sector. As noted above, donors are
interested in communicating with artistic directors; they are buying into an art form and a
vision. This is not exhibited elsewhere in the charity sector, where the individual
responsible for the organisations vision is often the Chief Executive, or business director.
-
11
In the health sector for example, donors wish to meet members of the executive team,
rather than health professionals responsible for service delivery (akin to artistic directors).
Although nuanced and unique, the interest of donors in meeting and communicating with
artistic directors and artistic professionals represents an opportunity for cultural leadership.
In line with discussions above noting the distributed (Holden, 2011, p.2) nature of
leadership in the cultural sector, where non-executive staff members have the ability to
lead, an opportunity exists to profile artistic staff, and assign artistic staff specific fundraising
responsibilities. In this sense, whilst it is partly the responsibility of cultural leaders to meet
with donors, and display elements of charismatic leadership, there exists a role for cultural
leaders to drive a culture of change in terms of an overall organisational approach to
fundraising. Similar to discussions of culture and resources detailed above, by promoting the
role of artistic staff as key contact points for donors, leaders can increase the value placed
upon fundraising within their organisation.
Conclusions
The above examination highlights the importance of understanding the functional, everyday
roles of cultural leaders in supporting fundraising and philanthropic activity in contemporary
arts organisations. From this it is clear that training and support is required to assist leaders
in applying concepts of vision-setting and inspiration in a way that makes sense to the
practical functions of fundraising departments. This may include influencing organisational
structures and cultures so that fundraisers are fairly represented, valued and resourced, and
-
12
advocating for the responsibility of all staff to play a critical role in supporting fundraising.
Alongside this, this paper has highlighted the importance of a dialogue and shared learning
between fundraising professionals and cultural leaders, supporting the needs of cultural
leaders (knowledge sharing, low-risk initiatives) and fundraisers (representation on
executive committees, influence).
In this sense, this paper disagrees with crude, trait-based characterisations of leaders as
charismatic, transformational and transactional, instead highlighting the specific skills
and tangible roles of cultural leaders. To continue this discussion, this paper advocates for
increased dialogue amongst cultural leaders (as opposed to academics studying cultural
leadership) around fundraising success and failure. In researching this paper I uncovered
extremely limited reflection by cultural leaders upon the everyday operations of fundraising
departments and leadership structures. This paper would therefore suggest the production
of documents, guidance and examples, serving as both an educational and advocacy
document detailing practical experiences of arts fundraising. In this manner, cultural leaders
are defined by their success, practice and by the change they have introduced (Tusa,
2014, p.41), rather than personality and character-based traits. As highlighted by Scaife et
al. (2013, p.v) If board members and CEOs did no more after perusing this study [around
fundraising effectiveness] than ask their fundraiser/s how they might help more then a
significant impact will have been made.
This approach would likewise be sensitive to the high levels of change undergone by cultural
organisations. By avoiding specific characterisations of leadership styles, literature and
guidance documents can acknowledge the context in which a leader operates (Sargeant and
Jay, 2010, p.373), taking a nuanced approach considering both the external (cultural sector)
and internal (organisational functioning) factors involved in leadership. As noted by Hewison
et al. (2010, p.10) the sector is diverse and eclectic one size does not fit all, so the
navigation of different models and approaches to leadership is essential.
Alongside detailing these proposed interventions themselves, it is important to consider
how these interventions are applied. In their 2010 account of cultural/ leadership change
within the RSC, Hewison et al. (2011, p.19) comment that a remarkable feature of the RSCs
leadership and management style has been the regular and explicit reference to emotions.
This is discussed further by Holden (2011, p.192), calling for cultural leaders to
-
13
acknowledge the existence of, and the important role played by, emotions in
organisational life. This resonates with earlier discussions of the autonomy, influence and
motivations of fundraising staff, and how cultural leaders must respond to and measure
their role in light of these.
Finally, it is important to acknowledge that this paper is written from the perspective of
fundraising within the UKs cultural sector. As noted by DeVereaux:
managers in the United States are generally very familiar with fundraising. [In
comparison to] other parts of the world, however, where government subsidies have
long been the norm, fund-raising is a much newer concept
(DeVereaux, 2011, p.290)
Regardless of whether austerity cuts persist within the UK cultural sector, there is
undoubtedly a trend towards reduced government subsidy and closer relationships with
audience members, commissioning organisations and partners. As such, it is likely the role
of cultural leaders will continue to develop, and it is the responsibility of fundraisers and
cultural leaders alike to respond and adapt to this change. In turn, there is a role for cultural
leaders and fundraisers to continue this dialogue to examine not simply the role of cultural
leaders within contemporary arts and cultural organisations, but those of the future.
