We have the rust and support of artists and art spaces and have access to a massive amount of incredible documentation. But we're too small to be able to do the work of gathering it, organizing it, uploading it, and then hunting for missing material. Our limiting factor is archivist hours, basically. So: we're trying to learn how to more properly fundraise despite not knowing many wealthy people directly. We're doing oru best within the art world, but it occurred to me that our idea board member/supporter is probably a young-ish tech person of means who understands the power of the internet as a means of providing access to knowledge and who likely has some pre-existing interest in contemporary art and would like to learn more about it.
So: how does one network within the "tech world" to find people with a specific interest? How do I go about meeting people who might be in a position to help us (ie. routinely need tax deductions in substantial amounts) and are interested in contemporary art or artists generally?
Any specific or process ideas would be gratefully appreciated! We're a 501c3 tax deductible non-profit based in California but providing our services to people around the world.
