Organizational Goals The CHP's organizational goal for the 2022-23 season is to be able to <br />return to its traditional calendar and to build back the ranks of its <br />string sections. The CHP is planning 8 months of rehearsals, 4 free <br />public concerts, and a youth concerto competition in February. Since <br />the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the CHP discontinued its 2019- <br />20 season, cancelled the 2020-21 season in its entirety, and returned <br />only in 2021-22. This past year was interrupted for 6 weeks by the <br />winter surge of COVID and the orchestra presented only one public <br />concert. In addition, around 25% of its string sections did not resume <br />playing this year. The CHP is pursuing a "normal" year for 2022-23: a <br />children's concert in October, a classical concert in December, a <br />concert featuring a professional soloist in March, and a concert with <br />the youth concerto competition winner in May. <br />How will you <br />evaluate whether or <br />not your goals have <br />been met? <br />Performance of four concerts and modest growth of the CHP's string <br />sections will constitute a success for the orchestra. Additionally, the <br />CHP always pursues continuous improv ement for both indiv iduals <br />and the ensemble. The group makes archiv e recordings of each <br />concert, allowing musicians the chance to assess their performance. <br />How do you promote <br />and publicize the <br />work of your <br />organization? <br />The orchestra pursues a v aried low-cost approach to publicity for our <br />programs, using a redesigned website, word-of-mouth, flyers, online <br />calendars, newspaper listings, an e-mail list, and social media to <br />promote our ev ents. Radio public serv ice announcements also <br />appear on W CHL. The group has been able to consistently build a <br />good audience without significant spending on adv ertising. <br />Please describe <br />efforts by your <br />organization to <br />generate revenue. <br />The CHP has traditionally been primarily funded by member <br />contributions. Ov er time the orchestra has div ersified its rev enue <br />sources, adding jar donations from concert audience members, <br />adv ertising in concert programs, and grant money from local <br />agencies. The CHP also started an endowment fund to prov ide stable <br />operating support for the future. <br />Resumes of artists/administrators <br />Grant_Artists.pdf <br />Board of Directors List <br />Grant_Directors.pdf <br />IRS Tax Exemption <br />Tax_Exempt.pdf <br />Publicity Samples <br />October_2019_Program.pdf <br />May_2022_Program.pdf <br />December_2019_Program.pdf <br />December_2019_poster.pdf <br />March_2020_Poster.pdf <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: E8FD4B12-89A2-43D4-995F-D78342A0F716
