Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Of the gift increases recorded from 11/1/17-10/31/18, secure at least $18,750 in retained increases between 11/1/18-6/30/19. Compare gifts of those who made increased gifts between 11/1/17-10/31/18 to their giving from 11/1/18-6/30/19. Assess progress toward goal of $75,000 in increased giving over three years. 2: Present a concert which connects with local interests to expand relationships with the business and arts communities, and the general population. Build good will with Mayo. Add Mayo people to our audience. Support a local artist.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We secured $18,664 in retained increases between 11/1/18-6/30/19. This is year two of a three year New Dollar Challenge (NDC) campaign. Compared giving of new/increased donations between 11/1/17-10/31/18 to those who gave new/increased donations in the next year. Those who maintained new/increased level of giving in year two are included in the total of retained donations. 2: Presented two concerts of community interest that supported the above stated outcome: Frankenstein and Armistice Day Centennial. Staff met with Mayo Clinic to plan 'Frankenstein,' on 200th anniversary of the novel; commissioned a new symphony from a local composer. 'Armistice Day Centennial' concert remembered those who sacrificed for peace.
