Paul Leibowitz has supported a good portion of our operating expenses as we found our footing as an organization and grew our programming. Each year weve gotten more funding and have moved closer to expanding our donor base. It was always the intention that Paul would help as we started and that slowly other donors and funders and services would eventually garner what we needed for operation. We provide free advisory and consulting services to many many venues and independent artists in NYC. We are viewed as a service organization by the community and are providing a vital service to artists in NYC. We are now in consistent conversations with private foundations and have been garnering more and more attention from government, press and other organizations in our field. This process has taken time, especially having started with a budget less than $250,000, the threshold that many foundations require you to be above in order to get their funding. Weve been able to prove ourselves in this way and are receiving operating support and programming support from The Howard Gilman Foundation, The New York Community Trust, New York State Council on the Arts and more. It is because of our work as a not for profit and the high level of service we provide to our field that these funders, who do rigorous vetting, have found us worthy of their support and within any guidelines for operating a not for profit. We are also in the middle of a merger with another service organization, The Indie Theater Fund. The Indie Theater Fund has been around longer than IndieSpace and has a very active individual donor base and receives considerable support from foundations. The Fund will ultimately be a program of IndieSpace and we believe will maintain these donors and funders.
