ISPA's international Board of Directors invites leading figures and organizations in the performing arts to become ISPA Patrons. We also invite ISPA member organizations to become Patrons by soliciting support from among their Board members or local foundations and corporations. Patrons will support ISPA's mission and the Global Capacity Program with annual support of $5,000 USD. In order to ensure an effective growth experience for the beneficiaries of the Global Engagement Program, the minimum period of Patron support is three years.

Patron support will be dedicated to building ISPA's capacity to include artists and arts leaders from developing countries in our biannual Congresses, and to developing ISPA's ability to offer fellowships to cover expenses for Congress attendees.

Beneficiaries
Comments from recent beneficiaries of our Global Capacity program:

''It was wonderful to get to know some of the members quite well, and I generally felt a great deal of warmth, concern and involvement from the members. The pre-conference and the conference itself have given me some new ideas. I am in the process of implementing these ideas in India, and will soon send you some details of progress. The response from my Indian counterparts to these ideas is extremely encouraging, and opens a new chapter in our method of working.''
Nissar Allana, New Delhi, India

''...an experience that has truly enriched my personal and professional life. I hope that I will find means to attend future congresses, and will be able to share with you and other delegates the way the professional art world develops in the Balkan region. My most enjoyable experiences were meeting experienced professionals from the art management field, sharing experiences, discussing cultures and constantly feeling among friends.''
Roza Nolceva, Skopje, Macedonia

''I feel membership of ISPA would be very useful to future fellows on the Clore Leadership Programme: not only are the topics covered in the presentations of central relevance to the core concerns of the Clore programme, but ISPA meetings provide excellent opportunities for fellows to network internationally and to make the Clore Leadership Programme more widely known in the performance arts world.''
Jo Hedley, London, England
