Endowment Funding
The William Dawson Education Endowment
Classical Connections Endowment
Arts Presenters is grateful to the individuals, member organizations and foundations who have contributed to the creation of these two important funds, providing a lasting legacy of support for years to come.
The William Dawson Education Endowment
In 1996, Arts Presenters created the William Dawson Education Endowment to celebrate and honor Bill Dawson, Arts Presenters Executive Director from 1972 to 1986. Bill's friends and colleagues sought to establish a fund that would help educate a new generation of arts leaders, incorporating Bill's belief in life-long learning with his professional legacy of the successful partnership between higher education and the administration of the arts.
The result is the William Dawson Research Internship. This research program, inaugurated in 2005, awards graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison funds to conduct a year-long research study on current trends facing the presenting field. At the end of the project, the graduate students share their findings with the Arts Presenters membership and the field at large during the annual Members Conference in New York City.
