Mission Drift
"Provides hands-on arts experiences to a broad community audience, with a particular focus on engaging seniors on fixed incomes."
— Statement of Program Service Accomplishments
What does this mean?
Highly volatile revenue swings year over year paired with fluctuating Program Scores. The organization is constantly pivoting to chase restricted grant funding rather than building a sustainable core.
The Path Forward
The Lodestar
A radical recommitment to the core mission. It requires the organization to gain the strength to say 'no' to restricted funding that pulls them away from their true purpose.
