What are you A specific program or project requesting funding for? Project/Program NC AIA's program is active in one Orange County School — Rashkis Summary Elementary, where it has just celebrated its 14th year of performances. We are also exploring bringing the program to an elementary school in Hillsborough, which may come to fruition in the incoming school year depending on NC AIA staff availability. NC Arts in Action is committed to serving all children, and with a focus on underserved children in Durham, Chatham, Orange, and Wake County Schools with high rates of students participating in the free and reduced lunch program. These schools lack additional opportunities to engage children in activities beyond basic instruction. Children in these schools are typically ESL students living in poverty stricken areas of our community, with varying degrees of parental support and intervention. These children don't have the ability or resources to engage in out-of-school activities and have a very limited world view. Rashkis Elementary is a Title 1 School, with 36%of students receiving free and reduced lunch. Grant funding of $3,500 from the Orange County Arts Commission Will help NC AIA reach 100 elementary school children in Rashkis Elementary School in Orange County in 2019-20. As a direct result of these grants, the work of Arts in Action can be sustained in public schools eager for arts education for their students, but with little money to support it internally. The yearly cost per school involved in NC AIA is $17,500. Project Start Date August 1, 2019 (no earlier than July 1 , 2019) Project End Date (no May 30, 2020 later than June 30, 2020)
