Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, ArtsWave serves as the primary funding source for enriching the vibrant arts landscape of the greater Cincinnati area. As the organization approached its centennial anniversary, ArtsWave aimed to position Cincinnati as a leading center for art and creativity worldwide, with plans to support five high-priority funding opportunities.

In 2022, Benefactor Group conducted a comprehensive campaign feasibility study for ArtsWave, which culminated in a strategic plan to raise $35 million. Through careful analysis and recommendations, Benefactor Group helped ArtsWave refine its fundraising goals. The study’s findings indicated that enhancing planned giving efforts would align best with the organization’s needs, paving the way for sustainable growth and ongoing support for the arts in the community.
