Now in its fourth phase, RAISE supports selected organisations to augment their regular funding by building capacity to generate significant new private and philanthropic investment. Since 2018, leading fundraising and philanthropy consultants OKC have delivered the RAISE Programme on behalf of the Arts Council, based on the following key outcomes:

• FUNDRAISING: To increase fundraised income and build culture and capacity in the chosen organisations to generate significant new philanthropic and corporate investment
• BOARD ENGAGEMENT: To increase Board knowledge and engagement in fundraising, philanthropy and partnership development
• PUBLIC AWARENESS & COMMUNICATIONS: To maximise donor reach and brand awareness
• INTERNAL CAPACITY, RESOURCING AND POLICY: To build capacity through fundraising skills and knowledge, and grow and embed a culture of philanthropy within the chosen organisations.

 The Arts Council believes that philanthropy and private investment, in tandem with government support, has a key role to play in promoting Ireland’s vibrant arts and cultural sector. It is this amalgam of public, private and corporate investment that is needed to ensure the sustainability, growth and impact of the arts sector into the future.
