system. Fundraising structures
were put in place, including
a comprehensive contact database
of hundreds of people in Mongolia
and abroad. In addition, a
Membership Program with six
levels and a donor acknowledgment
system was established. The
ACM's Membership Program alone
raised about $14,930 for its
Grants Program in 2003.
Fundraising is the highest priority for ACM. The fundraising strategy has 4 four major lines of action:
International Fundraising
It targets international donor organizations and foundations with clear and appropriate project proposals. During 2007, ACM raised funds for specific projects which align with ACM’s mission from: the Swedish Institute; Arts Venture (Singapore); METAA Co. Ltd. and MIZY Center (Korea); UNESCO Office in Beijing; Ruthbone Trust (UK); Red Sky Performance (Canada); Williamstown Art Conservation Center (USA) and ACM–US. ACM also received donations from individual donors Susan Byrne (UK) and Ken de Graaf (Canada). ACM aims to continue this work and to broaden the range and size of fundraising for ACM.
Collaborative Fundraising
It targets the Mongolian government, NGOs and other organizations currently working in Mongolia. In 2007, ACM has built strong relationships with a number of other organizations operating locally, including: L’Alliance Francaise de Mongolie; French Embassy in Mongolia; Save the Children, Petrovis Co. Ltd.; MCS Holding; Canada Fund; US Embassy to Mongolia; Khan Bank; AusAID’s Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development program in Mongolia and other organizations. ACM raised funds from these organizations and initiated a number of projects and programs.
Annual Membership Campaign
It targets both corporate and individual donors and encourages long term and continued support for ACM. The funds from the Annual Membership Campaign are not attached to a particular project or program and are therefore available to support both the Operations and Programs Areas of ACM. In 2007, ACM’s corporate and individual memberships contributed a total of $12,980 to ACM’s activities.
Fundraising revenues
It targets individual donors through the Red Ger Art Gallery art and merchandise purchases. In 2007 the Red Ger Art Gallery promoted the work of more than 80 artists and achieved sales to the value of $35,794 USD, raising $10,400 for ACM activities and in 2006, 11,516 USD. The Red Ger Art Gallery has been and continues to be an invaluable resource for the fundraising for ACM both in terms of direct revenue through arts and merchandise sales and at the same time providing opportunity to local artists to sustain their arts and creativity.
