Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

CLIMB will reach at least 116,000 Minnesotans living in 23% of Minnesota's zipcodes. We keep statistics on the location of each performance given and note the number of persons in each and every audience served. 2: CLIMB Theatre will reach pre-K-elderly persons of all ethnicities, income levels, and abilities by performing in schools and adult day cares. We keep statistics on the economic and ethnic breakdown of our school audiences by asking schools the number of students they have receiving free and reduced lunch and the number of students they have of various ethnic groups.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As of July 3, 2014 CLIMB reached 115,895 Minnesotans in 21% of MN’s zip codes. By August 31 we expect to add 1,700 more in 18 zip codes brining us to 23%. 22% of K-12 students reached are of color. 37% are low income. CLIMB Theatre served 4 special needs organizations, 14 pre-K sites, and 37 elder sites.
