Five Minute Interview: Jim Ricciuti, Passim Folk Music and Cultural Center

FS: How would you describe your fundraising philosophy?
JR: Our philosophy is similar to that of many organizations: Find out what’s important to the donor and make it inspiring and easy to give.

We inspire by showing people the Passim experience. This is comprised of four elements: legacy, community, the musical experience, and education. Our goal is to convey these elements to everyone that sees a performance, takes a class at the school of music, reads our bimonthly newsletter, visits our Web site or attends one of our Culture for Kids events.
