How do you promote <br />and publicize the <br />work of your <br />organization? <br />ME has a strong digital presence, which includes weekly social media <br />posts (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube), a monthly newsletter, and <br />a robust website. For the 20th Anniversary series, ME engaged print and <br />TV/radio to advertise the free and accessible arts content for the <br />community. <br />Advocacy: ME staff has been involved in the NCArts Day initiative for the <br />past two years. Community members, nonprofit leaders, and other <br />members of the arts community collectively speak with members of the NC <br />Legislature to pressure statewide change and more support for the arts in <br />schools and the community. Aligned with our goal of overcoming barriers to <br />music education, we partner with other NC arts leaders to effect change for <br />all our communities. <br />Please describe <br />efforts by your <br />organization to <br />generate revenue. <br />ME has had diverse funding sources since 2019 and has survived the <br />pandemic by being reactive and agile.
