Please describe efforts by your organization to generate revenue. The Art Therapy Institute generates rev enue in sev eral ways. ATI's receiv es the majority of its rev enue through earned income by billing insurance, Medicaid and priv ate pay clients for the serv ices rendered. ATI also applies for and receiv es grants each year from local municipalities and foundations which support nonprofits like the Art Therapy Institute. This past fiscal year, ATI receiv ed funding from the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Orange County Human Serv ices, Orange County Economic Dev elopment, Triangle Community Foundation and InfUUsions. Other ways ATI generates income to further support its programs and help with operational costs include soliciting indiv idual and corporate organizations for donations as well as by hosting sev eral fundraisers each year. ATI's annual signature fundraising ev ent, "I Heart Art," includes a silent auction, featuring original works of art from local artists and donations from local businesses. This year ATI was not able to host “I Heart Art” due to COVID but we hope to hold it in person in the near future, perhaps with an online auction component. Throughout the year, smaller fundraisers are held at local businesses such as breweries and restaurants. These fundraisers help driv e business to the v enues while also raising awareness about the work that ATI does. At the end of the calendar year, ATI creates a short fundraising v ideo highlighting ATI’s work and accomplishments which is distributed through email and social media to current and potential donors. Additionally, ATI hosts a workshop series of educational programs, offering continuing education credits. Fees from the workshops series in recent years raised significantly more money than in prev ious years partly because COVID forced the series to be mov ed online. By mov ing the workshops online, people from all ov er the world were able to join. Due to COVID, ATI added an additional fundraiser called $10K in May. ATI’s goal each year is to raise $10,000 in May, highlighting that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout the month, ATI shares information about art therapy, ATI programs and the art created by ATI clients though social media and email blasts.
