Sponsorship brokering

We broker and facilitate new or renewing arts sponsorships within our network, and we are committed to supporting the arts community to pitch, negotiate, and land innovative and exciting collaborations.

We have brokered multiple partnerships in the past 35 years, many of which we have also been involved in shortlisting the prospective arts partners for the corporate funder and co-designing the partnership programme.

Where an arts or business member is seeking assistance with brokerage over and above the allocation of mentorship they receive as part of their annual membership, Business to Arts will apply a fee for our support in securing the funding.

If you are an arts member seeking funding for a significant new partnership opportunity, please contact us. If you are not yet an arts member, you can learn more about membership here.

Fundraising and financial sustainability

We work directly with artists and arts organisations to help them review, revitalise and expand their fundraising strategies and to explore new models of income generation.
