Support Us
Our organization is incredibly thankful for the support of those who elevate our work and uphold our mission. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we rely on those who share our vision to keep our work going through their generous giving, which subsidizes the cost of our programs for school communities and students across our region.
The cost of student programs in our last fiscal year exceeded $200,000, and our program revenue reached just under 50% of that cost at $94,000. Our program requirements continue to grow, with a 25% increase so far this year.
As we approach the end of our current fiscal year (June 30th), we ask you to consider a gift to one of the following funds, which help us expand our reach and bring our impactful programs to more students.
Rogers Program Development Fund
Annual Student Programming Fund
Bobbie Luttig Access for All Fund
This fund was established in honor of Dr. Cheryl and Michael Rogers as our 2023 Kay Arms Lifetime Achievement recipients. Their history with Young Audiences runs deep, and they were critical in cultivating artistic quality and development of our organization. Gifts to this fund support the creation and piloting of new programs. Following the launch of this fund, we were able to provide programs to 6 new campuses in our region, increase our after-school program offerings, and are currently working on summer programs! A gift to the Rogers Program Development Fund ensures we continue developing programs that meet the needs of our school communities.
Once programs are developed and established, the Annual Student Programming Fund enables us to offer our programs and residencies at the absolute lowest possible price, making arts education accessible to all communities. A gift to this fund ensures equitable access for each school community and supports our teaching artists’ work. This year, you can give to this fund in honor of our Arts in Education ICON recipient, George A. Faber, II. Mr. Faber’s remarkable dedication to our organization spans seven years of service as a board member from 2007 to 2014. His passion and love for the arts have transformed the landscape of Tyler ISD and our broader community.
If there lies a financial hurdle for school communities in low-income areas, the Bobbie Luttig Access for All Fund is offered to help. This fund, established by the family of Bobbie Luttig, serves as a needs-based scholarship for school communities to help underwrite the cost of programs for their students. Bobbie Luttig was one of the founding members of Young Audiences of NE Texas, who laid the foundation for the belief that all students deserve access to quality arts education. Thanks to gifts to this fund, we can subsidize up to 50% of program costs for those in need. Over the last 12 months, we have provided $7,265 in programming scholarships to schools in need. Your gift to this fund helps ensure costs do not hinder school communities with limited resources.
