Welcome Coalition Members! We're glad you're here!
This page is where we’ll share members-only opportunities and news. These opportunities will evolve and grow as we listen and learn from each other, and the Creative Change Coalition finds new ways to support network building, shared work, piloting new ideas, and other helpful cool things.
How do I know if my organization is a Creative Change Coalition member? If you have a link to this page, you are probably already a member! If you’re not sure, you can read more about joining the coalition here. If your organization is a member and you want us to add another staff contact, email Sara at sara@springboardforthearts.org
Learn more about Connection Sparks, an ongoing opportunity for Coalition members. Next submission deadline is May 28, 2025 at 11:59 Central (US & Canada).

MORE INFORMATION
Do you find yourself wishing you could connect to the staff of other organizations in a less structured but intentional way? Or maybe you've been wanting to connect with a kindred organization in a different place that you've been admiring from afar (we call these “organizational crushes”!).
CONNECTION SPARKS are an ongoing opportunity for Creative Change Coalition Member Organizations to connect with peer community organizations locally or across distance to exchange ideas, deepen relationships, and build a community of practitioners at home and afar. In this non-competitive process, Member Organizations submit by completing a basic form. 10 applicants are selected to receive $2,000 through a drawing in each cycle (2 cycles per year). Funds are unrestricted and reporting requirements are to share a photo and complete a brief reflection and feedback survey.
Download the Connection Sparks Guidelines for full details, eligibility, and submission information.
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. Next drawing deadline: May 28th, 2025 at 11:59PM CENTRAL.
The Creative Change Coalition is stewarded by Springboard for the Arts with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
