The extraordinary stories of mega gifts and multi-million-dollar campaigns from the arts leaders who delivered them.

These gifts have transformed the cultural sector for the benefit of dancers, actors, writers, researchers and audiences everywhere. We celebrate the philanthropists who gave them yet the stories of how these gifts came into being often remains hidden.How We Raised It draws back the curtain to hear directly from the individuals who made these campaigns happen.
