How does CLMP receive its funding?
Because such a large percentage of CLMP’s members are very small organizations and because CLMP tries to keep its dues affordable, only about 5 percent of CLMP’s budget is supported by dues income. This means that CLMP needs to raise a large portion of its budget from individuals, foundations and governmental agencies. Because such a large portion of our budget is grant dependent, CLMP’s programs are often influenced by funding trends. CLMP regularly receives support from the New York State Council of the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Wendling Foundation and a dedicated group of individuals, corporations and family foundations. CLMP has also received very generous programmatic support from The Wallace Foundation.
