Please Take This Fiscal Health Survey…

Alliance for Audience, in partnership with Theatre Communications Group (TCG) and the Association of Performing Arts Service Organizations (APASO), is conducting a very short snapshot survey to get an up-to-the-minute sense of how non-profit arts & cultural organization are faring. The information gathered in this survey will contribute to a regional and national picture of the fiscal health of the arts & cultural sector, so I write to ask you to complete it!  

Even if you don’t think all of the questions are relevant to your organization, please let me URGE you to participate as long as you are a not-for-profit arts or cultural organization.

The deadline to complete this survey, which should only take 5-10 minutes, is Friday, September 30.

THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:

1. This survey will not require you to crunch any numbers and should only take 5-10 minutes. You must begin and submit it during the same session; you cannot save your answers and submit them later.
2. If you receive this survey from more than one service organization, PLEASE ONLY FILL IT OUT ONCE, but do select ALL service organizations with which you are affiliated on the preliminary information page.
3. If your fiscal year 2011 is not yet over, please estimate where you will be.
4. In order to provide an accurate analysis of the data, THIS SURVEY IS INTENDED ONLY FOR NOT-FOR-PROFIT ARTS & CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS. Those who should NOT fill this survey out include arts service organizations, individual artists or teachers, commercial producers or companies and for-profit theatre camps or studios.
5. Because the survey was instituted by Theatre Communications Group (TCG), its default language speaks to theatre companies and performing arts organizations.  If you’re some other type of arts or cultural organization, PLEASE PROCEED ANYWAY!  (TCG will filter out non-theatre companies for their national analysis – but Alliance for Audience is very still interested in capturing a broad Arizona perspective on the whole of the arts & cultural community.)
6.  Please direct questions about the survey to Chris Shuff at cshuff@tcg.org.

THE SURVEY DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, September 30, 2011.
