Overview
Launched in early 2008, the California Cultural Data Project (CACDP) is a ground-breaking statewide collaborative of more than forty arts funders, providing the first opportunity to collect and disseminate longitudinal, organizational, and financial information about the nonprofit arts and culture sector in California. CACDP, operated by the Pew Charitable Trusts, works to strengthen the sector by supporting fact-based decision-making through more effective financial management, analysis and reporting by nonprofit arts and culture organizations, and the provision of standardized data for grantmaking and research efforts. The Cultural Data Project is now operating in eight states, well on its way to becoming the national standard for data collection on the arts and culture sector. A renewed grant to Pew would support the ongoing operations of CACDP, including the provision of technical assistance, trainings and help desk support for its 2,800 participating arts and culture organizations (with a goal of 4,000 participants by 2012), technology upgrades, and promotion of research for advocacy and policy making.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Transforming Evidence Network Conference and Transforming Evidence Funders Network meeting
The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent nonprofit organization that draws on research and analysis to improve public policy, inform the public, and invigorate civic life. This grant supports the continuation and expansion of the Evidence Project, which will formalize a research funders’ network. The network cultivates information-sharing and collaboration between funders in fields such as education, health, international development, and environment to fill knowledge and resource gaps in the evidence-use arena. The goals of the network are to (a) facilitate learning between funders, (b) coordinate efforts and funding to identify and make progress on critical needs for the field, and (c) grow the field of evidence use and inspire more funders to support evidence initiatives. This grant supports the organization of the 2024 Transforming Evidence Network Conference and Transforming Evidence Funders Network meeting, to be held consecutively from November 19-22 in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Pew Charitable Trusts’ U.S. Conservation Program works with communities West-wide to conserve biodiversity by identifying and protecting wildlife corridors, protecting oceans, restoring free-flowing rivers, and expanding core habitat protections. In particular, Pew is working with scientists, local partners, Tribes, sportsmen and sportswomen, members of the business community, and others to advance new policies that safeguard wild places and wild rivers for wildlife and future generations to use and enjoy. This grant supports a convening about wildlife connectivity. (Substrategy: Advance Conservation Protections)
