We are searching for people who can think outside the box to help us devise and implement a strategic plan for building capacity to sustain and grow our organization. We just received a $10,000 grant and need help deciding how to put it to the best use. We receive the money in November and have to spend it by Decenber 31.
Perceptual Motion, Inc. is one of only a few dance organizations to stay in existance for 39 years. We have done so by staying small and operating on a budget under $25000. This grant give us an opportunity to move our organization to the next level after the devastating effects of COVD-19.
Our resources are small-no staff, 4 dancers plus the artistic/executive director.
