Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Increase awareness of Continental Ballet Company and its programs. Track the number of people who attend performances, enroll in classes, and financially support the organization.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Continental Ballet Company achieved an increase of 7% in individual donations. Enrollment in studio classes increased by 9%. A major blizzard in the Twin Cities impacted four performances and overall ticket sales. The Company, however, gained a new sponsor for community performances with the Paramount Theatre in Saint Cloud. Outcomes were evaluated using records of donations, enrollment, tuition, and ticket sales.
