Welcome Visual Arts Center of New Jersey Board Members!

Hats off to you for investing your time in becoming an effective ambassador and fundraiser for the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey.   

We are here to help you focus your efforts on building strategic relationships that lead to a large base of committed, long-term donors.  

It’s not about hitting up everyone you know for a gift, and it’s not even about every board member asking for gifts. It’s about everyone being involved in the process, putting their best foot forward with skillful communication and telling a compelling story about the work you so deeply believe in.
