    Fundraising Volunteers Needed: Help Bring the Arts to Children

    Arts4Schools, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formerly known as Arts in CT, is seeking dependable, enthusiastic volunteers to help raise funds for arts education programs for children.

    We need people who are ready to make calls, build relationships, and turn ideas into action. Your support can help more children experience music, dance, theater, and visual arts.

    How You Can Help

    • Make phone calls to prospective donors, businesses, and community partners.
    • Send sponsorship packets and follow up with potential sponsors.
    • Help organize and promote fundraising campaigns, including popcorn fundraisers.
    • Research sponsorship and donation opportunities.
    • Track outreach, responses, and follow-up tasks.
    • Bring creative fundraising ideas and help carry them out.

    Who We’re Looking For

    Strong communicators who are organized, reliable, comfortable with phone and email outreach, and passionate about children and the arts. Fundraising, sales, marketing, or community outreach experience is welcome, but not required.

    This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity. Outreach and administrative tasks can be completed remotely, with availability and assignments coordinated with the Executive Director. We are seeking volunteers who can begin as soon as possible.
