Open to representatives from all Ahha Council Members, the Advocacy Summit is a strategic discussion and planning day to develop our advocacy priorities. We focus on issues at the local, county and state level. Held at the Hardesty Center.
Our all-member events are relaxed, casual cocktail events for mingling, discussion and getting to know each other better. Representatives from all Council Members welcome. Held at the Hardesty Center.
Quarterly, the top executives from our Member Organizations gather for discussion and networking. We talk about current issues, partnership opportunities and shared challenges. We end around lunchtime, so lively discussion may be taken to lunch at a local restaurant.
Ahha seeks to promote the value of the arts and humanities to all Tulsans. We also seek to share and advance the missions and activities of our Council Members. More information about member promotion opportunities is coming soon.
Fiscal Sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which ahha sponsors a project that lacks 501(c)3 status. We believe fiscal sponsorship provides a great benefit to Council Members and is consistent with our mission to cultivate a more creative Tulsa. In order for a project to be considered for fiscal sponsorship, an organization must fill out an official Fiscal Sponsorship Application. The application will then be reviewed and approved or denied by the ahha Board of Directors.
Once a Fiscal Sponsorship Application is approved, the organization must complete a Fiscal Sponsorship Contract, which details the responsibilities and conditions of the arrangement. In general, organizations/projects under fiscal sponsorship must:
Effective July 1, 2017, ahha retains 5% of all funds for sponsored project as an administrative fee.
If you are in need of a fiscal sponsorship, you can apply online or download the fiscal sponsorship application and email or mail it to ahha.
