Operate on a balanced budget and meet all budgeted areas by fiscal year’s end.Following a period of rapid growth, the Reif Arts Council is committed to achieving financial stability. The Reif Center uses QuickBooks to reconcile daily revenue and expenses; we meet monthly as a finance-executive committee, and again as a board of directors, to review reports; we are audited every year by professional CPAs. 2: We will increase the size of our patron database to over 14,000 by the end of 2013-2014. We will expand and build new audiences for quality arts programming in our regional community. Because we believe the arts are part of who we are and a defining characteristic of our community, we want to extend an invitation to all persons to take part in an event at our center. Compare patron database records from year to year.
As predicted, we operated on a balanced budget in 2013-2014. Some areas we came in high, some low, but the end result was a balanced budget. At the end of 2013-2014, we had a patron database of 15,065. To achieve this, The Reif advertised in both local and outlying communities, we used billboards on major roadways, we employed radio and TV ads, and we sent out newsletters and other print media for event promotion. We also used social media.
