Cultural Data Project

The Cultural Data Project is a unique system that allows arts and cultural organizations to enter financial programmatic and operational data into a standardized online form.  Organizations can then use the CDP to produce a variety of reports designed to help increase management capacity, identify strengths and challenges, and inform decision making. They can also generate reports to be included as part of the application processes to participating grant makers. The MRHC has participated in the CDP since 2009 and the process has been useful and informative.
