ARTZ Philadelphia
Organizational Strategy Call
Call details
What we'd like to talk about
My organization has started work on our 3-5-year strategic plan, with work led by one of our Board members and me (ED). We have realized that we need a strategic planning expert to move us forward.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Our mission
ARTZ Philadelphia was founded on the belief that people living with dementia should be accorded the benefits of well-being and quality of life that others enjoy. We offer opportunities for interactions around arts and culture that turn this belief into reality. Our mission is to provide opportunities for self-expression and for the rebuilding of self-esteem and dignity to people with dementia and those who care for them. We achieve this mission through evidence-based programs that connect people living with dementia and their care partners with artists and cultural organizations; with each other; and with neighbors who live with or without dementia.
What we do
ARTZ Philadelphia was founded in 2013 with the purpose of enhancing the cultural and creative life of people living with dementias of all kinds. We foster a sense of creative community among people living with dementia and their care partners; and work to restore to people living with dementia their rightful place as valued members of our wider creative community.
We do this through arts-based programs for our constituents that take place in arts and culture venues and in care facilities throughout the greater Philadelphia area (and beyond!). We look at art together, we talk about art together, we make art together... all as a way of engaging with each other and building community.
Testimonials
Michael is clearly passionate about serving non-profits, has substantial expertise and came to our call with lots of very good questions to help him better understand our organization's particular situation and needs. He gave very cogent and helpful advice that will substantially help us moving forward as we engage in our strategic planning process and as I as founder and ED work with the Board to help them understand what we need in order to better serve our constituents.
Susan is a thoughtful and passionate leader of a unique organization serving an important cause. As they are at an exciting point in their growth journey, I was grateful to be able to speak with her and help out. Susan is intelligent, articulate, and was an absolute pleasure to speak with!
