How to Work for Art at Your Company
A Work for Art campaign is a simple and fun way for your company and its employees to help raise money for the regional arts and culture community. There are four simple steps.
1. Involve the CEO and top management. Ask the CEO and/or senior managers to publicly endorse the campaign. Many CEOs announce that their company will match their employees' contributions, which is a great incentive.
2. Coordinate with your HR department. Work for Art can help your HR department set up payroll deduction for your employees. Alternately, gifts can be made through check or credit card.
3. Make the ask. Work for Art can bring an artist into your workplace for a staff meeting presentation or a lunchtime social event. We work with you to distribute and collect Work for Art pledge cards.
4. Say thank you. Work for Art sends acknowledgment letters to all who contribute, and donors who give $60 or more will receive the Arts Card. <link to Arts Card page>
