Finance Committee » Fundraising Sub-Committee

The Fundraising Subcommittee works closely with the ARCS Board of Directors and all of the various ARCS committees and subcommittees to identify, cultivate, and manage external funding partners.  The Fundraising Committee’s goal is to nurture and expand awareness for ARCS initiatives, and to help raise funding to host them.  The committee also works closely with other committees to plan specific fundraising events and activities, such as the annual ARCS conferences and ARCS webinars and workshops.
