TOT

Project management and automation in the world of culture. TOT boasts a wealth of knowledge in this, as well as vast experience. Where to start? With the right questions: TOT poses them with the fresh outlook of a relative outsider. You’ll find the answer by putting the interests of all parties into a common perspective – the perfect performance, the successful event, the satisfied client. This helps to streamline and professionalise procedures, in whatever way necessary.

In the ICT project management section you’ll find:

• Information on subjects such as event planning, personnel scheduling, time tracking, CRM, ticket sales and fundraising in the cultural sector;
• An explanation of a procedure developed by TOT to ‘examine’ organisations;
• TOT’s method for managing projects and providing training.  » read on about ICT Project Management

TOT is an independent party that utilises a range of different programs and suppliers. TOT is looking forward to helping you. » read on about Applications

Cultural organisations can no longer do without private financing. Crowd funding is hot, but organisations still seek ways to recruit sponsors, donors and friends.

That entails all kinds of activities:

• Finding potential donors;
• Keeping a record of who has been approached, when and how;
• Determining who has reacted to a mail or telephone campaign;
• Registering donations, and receiving and checking payments;
• Sending annual reminders and thank yous for gifts received.
• If you have a limited number of sponsors and donors or a tight-knit group run by volunteers, Excel is the perfect tool for recording addresses and donations.

However, you could also purchase a program for this purpose. » read on about Fundraising
