Managers face various struggles while operating successful small arts organizations in low socioeconomic neighborhoods, such as acquiring funding, attracting skilled staff, and achieving sustainability. The focus of this generic qualitative study was the barriers and challenges that the participants faced while working in the nonprofit sector, particularly within management during daily operations. These challenges begin during the startup phase and often go unaddressed, and eventually become more complicated. For this reason, small arts organizations are often viewed as ineffective and time and again become defunct. Recent literature does not expound on community involvement and the support for small arts organizations, which is evidence that there is a gap in the literature. For these nonprofit organizations to survive, they must depend on a skilled, reliable workforce, financial planning, and efficiency of management. This generic qualitative study is designed to answer the research questions. Practical implications include producing results that may assist the small nonprofit section in understanding and responding to the challenges faced. The selected participants, drawn from a group of operational and financial managers of small arts organizations in a metropolitan city, highlighted challenges such as obtaining and maintaining funding as well as a lack of leadership and management experience. The theoretical frameworks of stakeholder and strategic leadership theories helped guide the investigation, which addressed three research questions: (a) What are the unique challenges that managers face when running small arts organizations in communities that are of low socioeconomic status and social positioning? (b) What can be done to address the unique challenges that managers experience when managing small arts organizations in areas where people have low socioeconomic based on their income, education, and social standing? and (c) How do managers of small arts organizations meet those challenges? Interviews were the primary instrument used in this study, and data analysis was done using transcription, coding, and the development of categories to establish themes and discern patterns in the data. The results indicated that the challenges these organizational leaders faced included inadequate funding, an oversaturated nonprofit sector, and a small talent pool. These challenges were met in unique ways, including using personal resources to ensure programs are viable and working to attract more skilled and experienced workers by offering stability. Managers have also worked to educate and coach less skilled staff persons, and to widen their search pool as it relates to funding as well as presenting the efficacy and distinctiveness behind small arts programs.
