What is the Applause Workplace Giving Campaign?

The Arts Council offers a workplace giving program that can be tailored to any business. Employees are offered the opportunity to contribute to the arts by check, cash or credit card and in exchange for a minimum contribution of $25, will receive a voucher for 2 free tickets to an arts event from a participating organization. The campaign typically lasts no more than 2 weeks, may include arts performances or exhibits, and solicitation materials are typically delivered electronically.

• This enthusiastic and short-term campaign is designed to last no more than 2 weeks per company.

• Most campaigns will be conducted during March to take advantage of the general United Arts Fund marketing in February. However, we will be flexible to meet the requirements of the employer.

• Employees may contribute by cash, check or credit card. We can also debit checking or savings accounts or invoice.

• Employees donating $25 or more will receive 2 free tickets to an arts event. Please note: some restrictions may apply.

• Proceeds from the Applause campaign will be included in the United Arts Fund Drive.

Simply put, the Arts are good for Erie! People give for many different reasons, but you’ll find that your employees give because of their personal love of the arts, programs for children, free tickets, community outreach, economic impact and quality of life.
