Providing volunteer services and professional expertise to the arts can enhance your business, as well as the arts.

In addition to serving as a director or trustee of an arts organization, there are several things you and your employees might do:

• Offer arts organizations professional assistance with strategic and financial planning, legal issues, public relations, marketing and advertising strategies.
• Provide writers and designers to help arts organizations develop printed materials - subscription brochures, fundraising materials, and Web site graphics and content.
• Help the arts organize and staff fundraising events such as auctions, galas and phonathons.
• Help the arts organize performances and special programs in the workplace for employees and their families.
• Provide planning and construction management expertise for arts organizations undertaking facility development or expansion.
