Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We search for funding to maintain our studio and events. This supports training in the classic repertoire for dancers and accessible performances to the community. Management meets annually to discuss funding, marketing, performances, and surveys. Management and volunteers review productions to discuss audience and revenue growth, and feedback from audience, artists, and theater staff. Board meets monthly, evaluates events, and offers guidance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We submitted grant proposals during the year and received funding from six funders.
