Fundraising

In partnership with the work group, Full Circle Consulting developed a case for support to tell
the story of why Nashua Performing Arts Center is worthy of charitable support, and then met
with 30 individuals/businesses/institutions of various backgrounds....

33% of those interviewed for this study describe themselves as already involved in the arts in
Nashua, 63% own or lead a business in the area, and 60% describe themselves as actively
interested in the future of downtown. Thirteen percent were all three.

Those interviewed for the study were asked if they would consider a contribution in support
of the campaign: 56% said “yes” — 22% said maybe — 22% said “no”
