Online Monetization CBA operates multiple divisions including adult and enrichment programs, with a nonprofit revenue profile that indicates growth potential. There is an opportunity to expand digital offerings such as online classes, on-demand performances, and streaming events to reach wider audiences and create new revenue streams through pay-per-view, subscriptions, or licensing of performances to schools.

Sponsorship & Grants As a long-standing nonprofit with a diversity and inclusion mission, CBA is well positioned to attract local corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, and donor partnerships. Develop sponsorship packages around performances and programs, and implement grant-readiness practices with impact metrics and reporting to grow unrestricted funds and program support.

Alumni Network Alumni have moved to prestigious university programs and professional companies; building an engaged alumni network can help with mentorship, recruitment for advanced training, and donor opportunities. Implement a lightweight CRM to track engagement and recurring giving.

Space & Partnerships Located in Evanston with a history of serving Chicago's north and northwest neighborhoods, CBA could monetize space through partnerships and co-productions with local arts groups and universities. Consider space rental for workshops, masterclasses, and performances, plus cross-promotions with organizations like Ruth Page, Ballet Chicago, and Hubbard Street for joint events.

Digital Marketing & Tech CBA's tech stack includes analytics and web improvements; opportunities exist to optimize the website for enrollments and donations, implement integrated ticketing and class registration, and deploy CRM and donor-management capabilities to boost enrollments and fundraising campaigns.
