Program Strategy & Goals

Project details

What we need
  • Evaluation of current programmatic needs and how a program plan can address them
  • Recommendations for an appropriate course of action to reach the desired objectives, including guidance on how to allocate resources and measure success
  • Plan that outlines the resources and steps required to reach short- and long-term goals
Additional details

I am the Arts Program Manager for the Oakland Peace Center. The OPC now wants a "creative and sacred arts" program but does not necessarily want to change it's mission to do so. I am in the process of creating a new model, a separate entity, a "Creative and Sacred Arts" program/project housed in the OPC, that will consult with the OPC to provide them with a "creative and sacred arts" program in the 44 000SF former church it occupies, and allow me to create my own "creative/sacred arts" program using the OPC as my presenting venue.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a deeply committed arts programmer in Marvin K. White, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an idea of the arts and sacred arts market, as well as a track record of programming, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,775 , allowing us to This project will save us $10000, allowing us to leverage our strategic plan to attract funders.

A successful non-profit or fiscally-sponsored creative arts and sacred arts project needs a strategic plan to move from "vision" into "action". I am a highly generative artist, who thinks in terms of "creative and sacred placemaking", leading with the question "How do we keep arts and sacred spaces in our community?" I need structure for this new model. A structure that is nimble and improvisational, but is rooted in a clear operational viewpoint. This project will help increase funding possibilities between the new organization and the OPC, as well as funding sources for the new program developing.

Our mission

The Oakland Peace Center provides needed space, hosts collaborative events and trainings, and creates a network of emotional and spiritual support for the 30+ organizations who partner in its work. These organizations pursue access, opportunity, justice, and inner peace throughout the Bay Area each in their own way. They can turn to the Oakland Peace Center to fortify and amplify these efforts through solidarity and cross-pollination. The OPC inspires these organizations to participate in a vision larger than that of any individual or member organization.

What we do

We provide affordable space in the midst of the displacement crisis that particularly affects POC-led nonprofits.

We do cultural preservation programming through the arts.

We provide capacity-building support to small nonprofits.

We amplify the work of our partner organizations so our community can engage in the work of ending violence with great organizations they might not know about otherwise.
