Funders, Sponsors and Supporters
"Sponsorships of the arts can be used to enhance high-profile marketing strategies, brand particular products, build corporate image and market share, or break into new markets ... according to the US Business Committee for the Arts ... three times the number of people attend art events as sport events" (Star Business Report)
"BASA [Business and Arts South Africa] would like companies to see sponsorship as enhancing the bottom-line; as a business opportunity rather than a philanthropic gesture; a partnership mutually beneficial to both sides." (Corporate Social Investment Report)
