Why run a workplace campaign for the arts?
Workplace Giving campaigns provide a company’s employees the opportunity to rally together and support over 130 arts organizations whose programming and outreach makes our community an ideal place to live, work and raise a family. All ArtsFund drives are developed closely with the hosting company so that they fit in with the culture and fulfill needs.
What does a typical campaign look like?
In most cases campaigns are 1-2 weeks long and include an informal kickoff event with a brief presentation complete with remarks and entertainment. Some campaigns are low-key and others include raffles and activities.
Workplace campaigns offer:
- Convenience – support the arts ecosystem through one gift
- Individuality – you choose to participate, how much to give, how to give
- Education – get information you might not otherwise know
- Teamwork – come together for a common goal
- Inspiration – be inspired by your leaders and your coworkers, or be an inspiration to them
- Fun – entertainment at the kickoff, team competitions, prizes
