Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

YTT will have the number of staff required to provide quality productions and excellent customer service. For the arts to thrive in Minnesota we must build sustainable organizations. We will measure the stability of YTT by assessing board, staff and audience experiences and measuring income data for balance. 2: YTT will have grown fundraising activity income by 50%. The more invested community is in building the arts, the more they understand the value of art in our world. We will assess the number of volunteers, donors and fundraising income for increased involvement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yellow Tree Theatre has the number of staff required to provide quality productions and excellent customer service. Yellow Tree Theatre's organizational stability was measured by assessing board of directors, staff and audience experiences through written surveys, in-person interviews, online customer service reviews and measuring and comparing income data. 2: Fundraising activity was increased by 8% from FY 2015-FY 2016. Fundraising increase was measured by assessing fundraising income from our box office software and calculating grants received. Increase in number of volunteers and donors was measured by development tracking software.
