These include government-owned or government-operated <br /> cultural facilities and institutions,municipal arts agencies and councils, <br /> private community arts organizations,unincorporated arts groups, living <br /> collections (such as zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens), university <br /> presenters, and arts programs that are embedded under the umbrella of a non- <br /> arts organization or facility(such as a community center or church). In short, <br /> if it displays the characteristics of a nonprofit arts and culture organization <br /> and has an identifiable budget/attendance and leadership, study partners are <br /> encouraged to include them. For-profit businesses and individual artists <br /> are excluded from this study. <br /> 3. Assist with the data collection from eligible organizations. <br /> Initial above Americans for the Arts has designed a proprietary survey instrument to <br /> capture key information from the eligible nonprofit arts and cultural <br /> organizations on your list(e.g.,revenues, expenditures, attendance, in-kind, <br /> staffing, and volunteerism).A paperless,web-based data collection process <br /> will be implemented in partnership with the Cultural Data Project(CDP),the <br /> primary organizational data collection mechanism for the AEP5 study. <br /> a. Organizations that complete a comprehensive CDP Data Profile will not <br /> be required to complete a separate survey for the purpose of the AEP5 <br /> study,thereby eliminating any duplicative data entry from these <br /> organizations.Americans for the Arts will receive from the CDP only the <br /> information that is necessary for the economic impact analysis.AFTA <br /> will notify eligible organizations that participate in the CDP that their <br /> data will be included in the AEP5 study. <br /> b. Organizations that do not complete an annual comprehensive CDP <br /> profile will receive instructions via email to complete the"AEP5 <br /> Organizational Expenditure Survey."This survey will continue to take <br /> approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and is nearly identical to our <br /> previous Arts &Economic Prosperity Organizational Expenditure <br /> Surveys. It will be implemented using the CDP's online data collection <br /> and reporting system to conduct the data collection process. <br /> IMPORTANT NOTE: This will not require the participating <br /> organization to submit the full,comprehensive CDP Data Profile. In <br /> 2016,a new and flexible version of the CDP Data Profile system will be <br /> launched; only the questions relevant to the AEP5 Organizational <br /> Expenditure Survey will be required.It will be fully branded as the <br /> Americans for the Arts survey for the AEP5 study.Using the CDP <br /> technology provides several benefits and addresses partner concerns <br /> from past AEP studies. It will enable The Orange County Arts <br /> Commission to ALWAYS have real-time access to the participation <br /> status of each eligible organization on your list(e.g., complete, <br /> incomplete, not yet started). The CDP's Support Center will be available <br /> to all participating organizations to answer questions about the survey or <br /> 5 <br />
