This report was the first major piece of work MMM undertook on 'New and Alternative Financial Instruments in 2007. It considers methods of financing arts and cultural organisations which extends beyond the mainstays of contributed income including grants, ticket sales and other earned income.

This national action research project, conducted in 2009 -10, investigated the competencies, qualities and attributes which will enable creative practitioners and organisations to thrive in the challenging environment of the 21st Century.

Our Capital Matters report and accompanying paper was formally launched at our Culture Change conference on 27th January 2011.
