Description

Our purpose is something other than making a profit. We are dedicated to serving our low income, at risk, underprivileged, distressed, children, youth, and adults in becoming all they can be and exposing them to fine arts programming, certifiable job skills programming in our small rural community. We hope once we get funding, to expand to be able to take in the whole of Cherokee County, Texas . Their personal growth is our goal. We will use surplus revenue to further our cause and invest in different kinds of creative programming. We are a community nonprofit with a goal of bettering our community, fostering economic growth. We have an executive board of directors and are working on getting an advisory committee which I am filling now and we will have to staff with as many volunteers as possible. The staff that will be paid will be upper management and full time staff. We will be relying on grants from foundations and corporations, fundraisers, donors, and local businesses.
