Arts Council CEO Dave Lawrence '90 Offers Funding Idea for Indy Organizations

DEPAUW

INDIANA---Neal Taflinger reports, "On Wednesday night, the Arts Council announced a partnership with power2give, a crowd-funding site devoted to improving the fortunes of not-for-profit arts organizations. Indianapolis is the 12th market to use power2give and more than 60 organizations from throughout the eight-county area are promoting projects at Indyarts.org/power2give. Each proposal has 90 days to raise up to $10,000. 'This is not going to solve all funding-related problems,' said Lawrence, but is an attempt to connect with so-called Millenials, young people who prefer to give in small amounts online or via text." Dave Lawrence is a 1990 graduate of DePauw University, where he majored in communication. [link]
