More than just a partner.

Whole Child Arts is dedicated to nurturing the creative potential of young learners in Chicago's underserved communities. To help them focus on their mission, Polaris Solutions provided tailored support across key areas:

  • HR & Employee Management: We introduced a streamlined onboarding process, ensured compliance with regulations, and crafted a benefits program that retained top talent.
  • Financial Management: Polaris implemented detailed financial reporting and restructured their budgeting process, which allowed them to allocate funds more effectively for programming and staff growth.
  • Results-Driven Marketing: Our campaigns spotlighted Whole Child Arts’ transformative impact, increasing donor retention and bringing in 30% more families to their classes and programs.

By managing the operational complexities, Polaris empowered Whole Child Arts to dedicate more energy to building creative, meaningful programs for the children they serve.

Whole Child Arts has grown its team and expanded its programming while staying financially sound and operationally strong. With increased donations, improved employee satisfaction, and a broader community reach, they’ve established themselves as a vital resource for arts education in Chicago.
