Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

YTT will have the number of staff required to provide quality productions and excellent customer service. For the arts to thrive in Minnesota we must build sustainable organizations. We will measure the stability of YTT by assessing board, staff and audience experiences and measuring income data for balance. 2: YTT will have grown fundraising activity income by 20%. The more invested community is in building the arts, the more they understand the value of art in our world. We will assess the number of volunteers, donors and fundraising for increased involvement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Administrative capacity and customer service improved by re-defining job descriptions, adding one box office associate and increasing work hours. Staff measured the stability of Yellow Tree Theatre by assessing board, staff and audience experiences and measuring income data for balance. 2: Individual fundraising (not including grants) increased 5% from FY 2016 and FY /2017. Our community was strengthened and programming quality increased. Staff assessed donors and fundraising income for increased involvement utilizing data reports generated from box office software.
