Abstract
Venture Philanthropy is an emerging trend in charity that reflects the successes of the booming venture capital industry. It translates the entrepreneurial philosophies focused on business models and scale into the non-profit sector. This study uses interviews with local arts leaders and critical thought to determine whether venture philanthropy has value to the arts and if the arts have value to venture philanthropists. Overall, this study found that the venture philanthropy criteria of measurable metrics, sustainable business models, and mission centric return on investments does not always apply to the arts. In the end, the study shows that venture philanthropy is not all that different than traditional funding models and its relevance to the arts may not be necessary.
