host a workplace giving campaign

Workplace Giving is a huge part of how we build our ArsKC Fund; it accounts for about one-third of the total amount raised annually!

A workplace giving campaign is an annual fund drive that offers employees the opportunity to make a single financial contribution to a wide range of artists, arts organizations and arts programs across the metropolitan area. It doesn’t matter how big or small your company is, how simple or in-depth you would like your Campaign to be, ArtsKC staff can provide the resources and ideas to help tailor the campaign to fit your needs.
