"Tools for Results" Tool-Kit – a Resource for Non-profit Arts and Cultural Organizations

The Texas Commission on the Arts “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 many organizations that generously agreed to share their resources.

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.
