CONTINUING CHALLENGES We have seen the need for financial aid increase each year, and now with 25% of our preschool population in need of tuition support, we are challenged to continue to
increase our fundraising for our financial aid program. Federal assistance has also been cut for many of our ARTSReach partners, and we are helping fill the gaps in funding for those programs so they can continue to come to the Arts Center for arts education.
We need to continue to seek to grow our donor base so we have the resources to continue to provide the best in performance and visual arts education to the community. Our goal is to have a robust financial aid fund to support 100% access.
