In 2008, I designed the Nonprofit and Social Media ROI Poetry Slam and last year was a panel on crowdsourcing that modeled crowdsourcing in the design and delivery. There are over 200,000 professional artists in the US — and a bunch of them have problems the techies could help solve. Trust me. What’s new? What works?

And in several cases, the projects constituted "empowerment lite" for participants rather than true collaboration, co-creation, or transformation. Interestingly--for good and ill--this transformative funding program coincided with a national funding crisis in the arts in the UK. This made the work more urgent, fragile. and realistic.

You can collaborate with other nonprofits in your region or in your issue area to investigate whether you can all offer benefits for each other. For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. Consult with an attorney if you plan to do this.
