• NJ Theatre Alliance | ArtsPay NJ Organizational Salary Survey | The Organizational ArtsPay NJ Survey should be filled out by a designated person on behalf of an arts organization. They will give compensation information for all job titles at the organization. All non-profit organizations in NJ for which the arts are the primary focus of their mission should complete this survey. The length of time to complete this survey will vary by the number of employees in your organization, but we anticipate that will take between 30-45 minutes for most organizations to complete, including filling in and uploading the employee compensation spreadsheet, which is the bulk of the information. We suggest having access to your staff payroll system or another record of staff salaries as you complete the survey. | Deadline: August 31st, 2023

• NJ Historical Commission | America250 - America’s Invitation | America’s 250th anniversary is fast approaching, and RevolutionNJ and America250 invites all Americans to join in on the commemoration.

At the core of every successful engagement campaign lies the ability to deliver consistent messaging that effectively reaches all audiences. To achieve this goal, America250 put together an easy-to-use Communications Toolkit to provide unified guidance on how to talk about America250 and America’s Invitation; materials to assist with outreach to your key stakeholders and the media; as well as contact information for our communications experts, should you have any questions. | Toolkit
