The MCC Advisor Corps can help. Massachusetts cultural organizations, schools, and local cultural councils can apply to receive up to two days of consulting services for a low cost of just $100 per day plus travel, meals and other related expenses.

Advisors are seasoned non-profit administrators with expertise in specific operational areas such as fundraising, marketing, audience development, strategic planning, board development, capital campaign readiness and more. They know the challenges of running a non-profit cultural organization and are recognized in the field for their experience and creative solutions.

MCC will match your organization with an advisor who is an expert in the topic you need help with. Together you will design an on-site session that provides the specific training and outside feedback you need.

What clients have to say:

"Our advisor was a perfect match for our organization. She worked well with staff and Board members and was able to get everyone on the 'same page' in a short amount of time." - Barrington Stage Company, Sheffield, received help with strategic planning.

"Many issues are similar between same-sized organizations and it is so helpful to have someone who understands your situation give feedback and act as a sounding board." - Provincetown Art Association and Museum received help with technology planning.

"Having an outsider voice and facilitator was helpful in getting my board to volunteer to do tasks." - Puppet Showplace, Brookline, received help with board training.

Please contact the MCC staff member with whom your organization works or Amanda Dillon to discuss application for the program.

Seed funding for the MCC Advisor Corps was provided by a grant from the The Wallace Foundation.
