Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

WAMSO will reach out to our community by offering reduced price and/or free tickets to a concert. We will measure this outreach by keeping track of the number of Minnesota Family Concert tickets our organization donates to people in need in our community. 2: WAMSO will increase the breadth of the Kinder Konzerts On the Road program. We will measure any ways in which we grow the Kinder Konzerts On the Road program. Under consideration are ideas such as providing tickets and busing for low-income students and parents so they can attend a concert at Orchestra Hall, or increasing the number of students reached by taking the program to an additional school.
