At the <br />very least. it will enable tpe programs tc pay their- pro -rats <br />share of overhead expense. <br />We will ask: several foundations and local businesses which <br />support the arts and social services to provide free tickets to <br />children and families who cannot a+ford to attend the productions. <br />We will design a special PPackage such as "Send a Child to The <br />ArtsCenter•" or "buy a Ticl•::et for A Child Program" as a marketing <br />tool for these subsidies. The list of Foundations is being <br />compiled at this time and will be inserted upon completion. <br />It is hoped that at least $2.000.00 of income will be added to the <br />budget in this manner. Applications will be prepared and <br />submitted by 30 January 11.1. <br />We also plan to apply to a Foundation to ~support the ao_.t of <br />the Children's Programmer. For purposes o•t= this plan, the <br />.salary of the Children's Programmer is included as support <br />from a Fecundation in the income section of the indi.viNal budget <br />and is expensed in the same budget. The Children's Propr-ammer s <br />salary is partially expensed in the Administrative budget portion. <br />If a grant is not received the income and expense items will be <br />removed from the individual Family Program bead Ret with no net <br />effect to the budget. The remaining portion Q the salary will <br />then be added to the Administrative budget. <br />SHORT -TERM FAMILY PROGRAM BUDGET (See attached detail) <br />INCOME: EXPENSE: <br />Sponsorships <br />13,500 <br />Performance <br />Fees & Sal <br />$17,485 <br />Foundation <br />Support <br />?,625 <br />Rentals & <br />10,601 <br />other <br />Ticket Sales <br />22,307 <br />Personnel <br />,.40115 <br />& Concessions <br />:rants <br />1,823 <br />G/A & O/H <br />12,720 <br />TOTALS: <br />$ 57,5 <br />Mote: The sponsorships are the weak: point .in this budget. if <br />they are not received, the budget will be deficit.
