How it works
Your administrative partner
One of the most important things to know about working with ArtsPool is that you’re now part of a team. Each member’s ArtsPool service team is made up of two or three roles – Financial Operations, Financial Maintenance, and Workforce Administration – depending on the specific services selected.Learn more…
Smart technology
ArtsPool uses a variety of online systems that allow us to efficiently work with our cooperative’s busy nonprofit members, who may not always be in the same office, borough, city, state, or country as us (though hopefully you’re on the same planet). Our web-based technology and automated processes streamline your work and provide you with a robust picture of your financial operations.
Always improving
As a member-led cooperative, we hold ourselves highly accountable to living and practicing the concept of change from which we began. From continuously gathering feedback from all stakeholders to conducting yearly retrospectives with our members, we’re always improving the ways we do our work.
