Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Optimize programming. Increase participation in IFP MINNESOTA programming by at least 10% across the board, targeting outreach and engagement to communities of color and to more diverse communities. Outcomes are measurable by attendance and tuition data. 2: Strengthen public awareness of IFP MINNESOTA, its programming, opportunities, and value. Initiate new partnerships, relaunch new website, and enhance promotional opportunities at all existing events. Outcomes are measurable by new partnerships, website hits, and event attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participation in IFP Minnesota programming increased by 10.8% across the board. IFP Minnesota also saw a slight (less than 5%) increase in the diversity of participants. We compared the participants in 2013/2014 to the number of program participants in 2014/2015. We also collected demographic data on participants who were willing to share that information. 2: Three new partnerships were forged; a new website was launched and the new visitor rate nearly tripled at 25,479, and event attendance increased by over 10%. IFP Minnesota entered into new partnerships with Forecast Public Art, Youthprise, and Sundance Institute. Website activity is monitored monthly using Google analytics. Attendance at events is counted carefully by staff.
