NFASP Public Benefit Toolkit
Public benefit toolkit
The Public Benefit toolkit is a new resource to help artists’ studios measure and report on the benefit they provide to the public through the wide range of activities they and their member artists undertake.
Simple to use, the toolkit takes the form of a questionnaire and is designed for studios of different sizes and circumstances, including those with no paid staff.
We receive the survey data and provide you with a report for you to use:
• to make your annual return to the Charity Commission
• to negotiate with funders or developers, or
• to promote your activities more widely.
We collect the data across all Studio members in a consistent format, which helps us to build a bigger picture of the work that studio groups do. This, in turn, helps us with our advocacy work on behalf of all artists’ studios. [For example, we wish to persuade the Charity Commission that the activities of the individual artists in affordable studios provide significant public benefit, regardless of whether the group directly organises activities or not].
