Research Abstract
Employee Engagement Workbook: Business Volunteers for the Arts®

This workbook series focuses on one of the many ways arts organizations can work with businesses: skills-based volunteering. The Business Volunteers for the Arts® (BVA) program, a pro bono consulting program, operates in several cities around the United States. The program is overseen nationally by Americans for the Arts.

Since its founding in 1975 by the Arts & Business Council Inc., the BVA program has grown and adapted to serve the changing needs of both the arts and business communities. Over its 40-year history, the BVA program has proven to be a dynamic and effective model for diverse sizes and types of communities. Since the program’s inception, nearly 25,000 business volunteers have served more than 26,000 arts groups across the United States.

This guide is designed to assist new Business Volunteers for the Arts® (BVA) program managers by orienting them to all of the options and full potential of the program, as well as delineating best practices in each of the program elements. It contains information on creating a BVA program, and is accompanied by a number of supplemental materials, including case studies from four different BVAs across the country.
