MMA Services
MMA works with arts managers across the full spectrum of the field, with organizations of all budget sizes, in all parts of the country. We specialize in strategic planning, as well as the typically considered “marketing” or “development” (although most of our work requires multiple departments to work closely together for maximum result).
Strategic Planning - Planning and preparing our organization to function securely and more efficiently
Donor Cultivation - Understanding and growing individual donor relations with your current patrons
Research - Listening on a large scale to people and indepthly understanding the persons' preferences.
All of our services are based on the (nerdy) premise that the arts are a facet of society with powerful, positive externalities. In other words, society as a whole benefits more from the arts than the price individuals are willing to pay to participate. We therefore see keeping arts organizations healthy and strong as a service not only to ourselves, but to society as a whole.
Our goal is, very simply, to apply the best thinking, research and theory available to arts management processes so that our cultural organizations become stronger, healthier and more sustainable.
