FROM 2016-2020, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LARGE DONORS TO FUND CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GALLERY AND INNOVATIVE PERFORMING SPACE TO BE USED BY MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE VENUE WAS DESIGNED TO GENERATE EARNED REVENUE FROM RENTAL INCOME, FOOD AND BEVERAGE SALES, AND COMMISSIONS ON THE SALE OF ART. AS A VENUE DEDICATED TO SERVING UNDERSERVED PUBLIC AUDIENCES, INCLUDING YOUTH ARTISTS, IT WAS ALSO ANTICIPATED THAT THE FACILITY WOULD ATTRACT MORE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ITS ONGOING OPERATION. THE FACILITY OPENED IN MARCH 2020 AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE FACILITY BEGAN TO OPEN IN 2021 AND HAS SEEN AN INCREASE IN OFFERINGS COMUNSURATE WITH ITS MISSION. THE ORGANIZATION DOES MEET THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:(A) WCC MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM OF FUNDRAISING FROM LOCAL FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS, FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND FROM OTHER NON-PROFITS THAT SUPPORT OUR WORK. WHILE WE ACCEPT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, WE DO NOT ACTIVELY COMPETE WITH OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS FOR THOSE DONATIONS; (B) OTHER SOURCES OF SUPPORT INCLUDE FACILITY RENTALS, TICKET SALES, AND GALLERY SALES. SUPPORT HAS ALSO BEEN DRAWN FROM TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED ASSETS ACCUMULATED BY THE ORGANIZATION WHILE IT OPERATED UNDER THE AEGIS OF A FISCAL SPONSOR, BEFORE BEING GRANTED 501C3 STATUS ON ITS OWN; (C) THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE WCC REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC AND IS COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS; (D) THE WCC WORKS IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF WORCESTER TO ENSURE THAT THE FACILITIES AND SERVICES WE PROVIDE ARE OF DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC ON A CONTINUING BASIS. THESE JOINT EFFORTS INCLUDE FREE CONCERTS AND FESTIVALS, DOWNTOWN ART DISPLAYS, AND - DURING THE PANDEMIC - FINANCIAL RELIEF FOR ARTISTS, MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES, AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES FOR REMOTE LEARNERS; (E) WCC WORKS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC BY SUPPORTING ITS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH ARE ALL NON-PROFITS OFFERING ARTS, HUMANITIES, AND INTERPRETIVE SCIENCE PROGRAMMING FOR A BROAD PUBLIC THROUGHOUT WORCESTER COUNTY. NOW NUMBERING 98 ORGANIZATIONS, EACH PAYS MEMBERSHIP LEVIES TIED TO THEIR BUDGET SIZE, RANGING FROM A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO AS LOW AS $100 PER YEAR. WCC SUPPORTS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS BY PROVIDING JOINT MEDIA ADVERTISING, SOCIAL MEDIA AND NEWSLETTER PROMOTION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC ART INITIATIVES, AND COLLABORATIVE PLANNING.
