What does this mean for us?
LOSS IN INCOME:
FUNDING GAP:
OUR INTERNAL STRATEGY:
- Concert cancellations have resulted in an immediate impact of a significant loss in contract and admissions revenue.
- These funds would have gone towards program administration, Education and Outreach and Community engagement programs, and general operating expenses.
FUNDING GAP:
- We are seeking $48,000 to secure three months of operating & marketing expenses, and payroll costs for artistic and administrative personnel through June 30th.
- We are committed to paying our artistic and administrative staff without salary reductions.
OUR INTERNAL STRATEGY:
- All operations expenses are being limited and staff are working from home
- Artistic staff are working on creating online content for our community
- Events that can be made into virtual experiences are being re-envisioned and organized for online platforms, including our rehearsals and our Bravo End-of-Season fundraiser (stay tuned for more details)
