ACHF Arts Access
335 youth ages 3-18 will increasingly engage in cultural arts and education programs by overcoming participation barriers such as transportation, cost, and language. Primary evaluation tool will be enrollment, attendance, surveys, and re-enrollment data collection. 2: Strengthen organizational infrastructure to ensure that underserved, low-income youth can access free, quality arts programs. To measure achievement, Urban Arts will track progress of fund development initiatives (institutional and individual); Board and advisory committee development; and marketing/communication plans.
In fiscal year 2014, Urban Arts served 570 youth 3-18 including 351 students in Summer Arts, 65 in KidPower, 73 in Preschool and 81 After-school. 390 were unduplicated. Our Gala brought an income of $95,210 to sustain our free After-school and KidPower programs. Restructured staffing resulted in cost saving structural changes. We improved our fund tracking, designed new ways to engage donors and redesigned our website to allow donors to give on line. Our Marketing Committee helped us tell our story better.
