Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

IFP MN programs increase engagement of diverse communities in the art of independent filmmaking. Increase in membership to 450; increase in program enrollment from 4800 to 5200; demographic data from participants; survey accessibility and effectiveness of professional development programs. 2: IFP MN youth programs grow in participation. Increase in the number of youth participants from 753 to 850; survey participants in the youth program to identify the ease of accessibility to the programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We increased enrollment in programs over the year from 4800 to 6980, which gave new participants access to independent filmmaking. We tracked attendance in programs through a Civi/CRM program and surveyed participants to learn how familiar they were with independent filmmaking before their experience with IFP MN. 2: The number of youth participants grew to 897 and gave students an arts experience that helped them better understand their community and social issues. We utilize the Youth Program Quality Assessment for JuiceMedia and in-school residencies. We also engage students in formal and informal discussions, note attendance, and utilize surveys to better understand how programs are engaging youth.
