We have been selected to join the prestigious Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Programme!
30th January 2025
Firstsite is joining 200 non-profit cultural organisations from across the U.S. and U.K. in a dynamic scheme designed to improve essential digital infrastructure.
Here’s what this means for us (and you!)
- Improving our digital tools, including our website.
- Exploring new technology to make what we do more inclusive and accessible.
- Growing our digital fundraising and online shop to support even more fantastic events and free exhibitions.
Over the past three years, the Digital Accelerator Program has been a catalyst for strengthening nearly 150 cultural organisations across the U.S. and U.K. To date, the original 40 participating institutions were able to grow an additional $20 million in new revenue, while also reaching over 1 million new audience members and engaging more than 4,000 new artists and partners.
Taking our digital presence to the next level!
As one of just 200 non-profit cultural organisations across the U.S. and U.K. selected, we’ll have the opportunity to take our digital presence to the next level.
This program will help us connect with you – our amazing community – in more meaningful ways, celebrate creativity and raise funds to bring you even more incredible exhibitions and events.
