This document summarizes a workshop on alternative financing for culture held in Minsk, Belarus in October 2014. It identifies the problem of inefficient cultural financing systems and maps out the causes and effects. The workshop's goal is to create an efficient cultural financing system. Solutions are presented through an objectives tree, including outcomes like increased knowledge, understanding of democratic reality, and legislation fitting social development levels. Next steps include forming a research team to analyze alternative funding models and develop an implementation strategy and action plan by March 2015.
