The California Cultural Data Project (California CDP), which launched on January 4, 2008, is the most ambitious and comprehensive effort ever to gather and analyze information about the contributions of the cultural sector to California’s economy and quality of life.

The Cultural Data Project was first launched in Pennsylvania in 2004 and in Maryland in 2007. The project is now serving as a national model and California is the next new state to adopt it.

The California CDP provides a standardized online system for collecting historical financial and organizational data to be used in grant applications to many of the participating funders throughout California.
