Strategies for Success

Strategies for Succes is a participatory, multi-year, multi-level capacity-building program that addresses and supports organizational development with an emphasis on entities serving historically under-represented communities. Support is provided through implementation awards, technical assistance, and professional development workshops and conferences.

Program participants work with an organizational development consultant during the program period to achieve short- and long-term goals. Participation in this program is based on three levels of organizational readiness - Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. Funding and continued participation at each level is dependent on meeting eligibility and participation requirements, including an annual evaluation.

Grant program guidelines will be available on this site in late fall 2025. 

Additional Resources

Please note: When resources allow, PA Creative Industries provides technical assistance, funding for professional development for individual artists, and consultancy support for organizations not eligible to participate in Strategies for Success. The agency also offers virtual and in-person organizational and professional development convenings, webinars, and workshops. The availability of these opportunities will be announced via this website, email, and social media.
