Founded in 2010, CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia offers fiscal sponsorship and management services for Philadelphia-based artists and social entrepreneurs. We serve a crucial role for those historically excluded from and/or working outside of established institutions. Artists and cultural practitioners create immense value in our communities, both through the creation and preservation of culture and by responding directly to community needs. Yet due to historic and current inequities, many artists do not have the capacity to run their own nonprofits. CultureWorks provides that support. By sharing expertise and leveraging resources, we help to reduce barriers, increase opportunities, and nurture a thriving cultural community. Through our fiscal sponsorship program, we provide essential business management services to 85+ fiscally sponsored projects each year. Services include finance, HR, legal, insurances, bookkeeping, and grants management. We also manage an affordable co-working space, host business development workshops, amplify the work of projects through marketing campaigns, and consult with projects to support their growth and sustainability. Over the past 14 years, we have served more than 180 projects representing the breadth of Philadelphia’s cultural community. Our fiscally sponsored projects engage racially and culturally diverse communities across the city through arts, community programming, and direct services. Why We Do It. Our mission is to provide equitable access to management resources for the makers and preservers of culture. Our work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves access to the support they need to lead creative lives and preserve the culture, ideas, and traditions they value. Our Values. Be Empathetic Be Equitable Be Creative Be Bold Share Our Relationship Credo. CultureWorks fosters a culture of accountability, genuine care, and guidance, with a “member-first” mindset.
