Adam Huttler - The Business of Charity in the New Economy

Adam Huttler is founder and executive director of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit organization that serves a national community of artists.

The traditional non-profit model is under attack. Rattling our tin cup for grants is no longer enough. Funders ask us to be business-like, but what does that really mean?

In this talk, Adam Huttler will discuss some emerging models for reinventing the way nonprofit cultural organizations do business. He will consider legal strategies, like the L3C and fiscal sponsorship. He will discuss structural approaches, including systems-centric cluster management. And he will consider the philosophical underpinnings of the whole conversation Who are our customers? Is professionalism really a good thing? When should infrastructure be outsourced?
