Director of Development
I was hired to raise funds for a much loved community arts center in Avon, Connecticut. Here is what I did to accomplish this goal:
Create a membership program for reoccurring giving
Gave community tours of the centers class rooms and artist studios to engage more with the community
Raised funds through grants which went to purchasing tech equipment for youth programming
Curated art shows and events including live music in the gallery, hikes for artistic inspiration and so much more
Created The Camino Project which included walking the 600 miles of the Camino de Santiago, vlogging for YouTube along the way, producing a film and hosting a culminating art show. The walk included pledges of support. The campaign was very successful.
