The New York State Cultural Data Project
(New York State CDP) is a powerful online management tool designed to strengthen arts and
cultural organizations.  Arts and cultural organizations enter financial, programmatic and
operational data into a standardized online form and can then use the CDP to produce a variety of
reports designed to help increase management capacity, identify strengths and challenges and
inform decision-making. They can also generate reports to be included as part of the application
processes to participating grantmakers.

This emerging national standard enables participating organizations to track trends and benchmark
their progress through powerful reporting tools, empowers researchers and advocates with
information to make the case for arts and culture, and equips funders with data to plan and
evaluate grant-making activities more effectively.
