Visavì Talking Time hosts a training event dedicated to cultural operators, artists and local companies. The broad topic of cultural fundraising will be introduced by Marianna Martinoni, who will illustrate how to strengthen the sustainability of cultural and artistic organisations through the involvement of private donors and supporters. Silvia Aufiero, on the other hand, will focus on performing arts, providing operational indications, models and success stories to involve private funding in the support of organisations and projects.
Marianna Martinoni and Silvia Aufiero, professional fundraisers and fundraising consultants for non-profit organisations operating in the cultural sector, founded the Padua-based consultancy group Terzofilo - Fundraising for non-profit development in 2015. They work with some hundred non-profit organisations every year, creating projects, fundraising campaigns and “tailor-made'” consultancy paths that are flexible and modular according to the specific needs of each organisation.
