About Artcinia

Artcinia and its Music in YOUR Neighborhood program were launched in June 2021 as a pandemic-era response to the performance cancellations and venue closures that severely disrupted Philadelphia’s performing arts community. Established to support professional musicians and reconnect communities during a period of isolation, the program soon evolved beyond a crisis response to focus on improving access to the performing arts.

Rock to the Future fosters thriving youth and economic empowerment through free, student-driven music programs for Philadelphia youth in under-resourced areas. Our work helps young people unlock their creative potential, strengthen academic and life skills, and build pathways to a bright future—all through the power of music. With an annual budget of $2 million and growing, Rock to the Future is seeking a passionate, strategic, and results-oriented Director of Development to lead our fundraising efforts and help us scale our impact across Philadelphia. 

This is an inaugural Director of Development position as we embark on our 5-year strategic plan. We aim to expand Rock to the Future’s reach from 1,200 to 2,300+ youth annually while deepening the quality of our MusiCore, MusiCommunity, and MobileMusic programs. The plan prioritizes doubling MusiCore enrollment, expanding services for justice-involved youth, strengthening college and career pathways, and investing in staff, systems, and infrastructure to ensure long-term sustainability and measurable impact on graduation, postsecondary success, and youth well-being. To achieve our goals, we will grow our $2 million budget to more than $3 million by 2029–30, driven by major increases in fee-for-service program revenue, individual giving, and institutional support.
