Sustainability Partnerships Past solar lease with RE-volv shows openness to sustainability partnerships. As a small Berkeley non-profit, Shawl-Anderson could be a strong candidate for additional green initiatives, energy-saving upgrades, or grant-funded solar and efficiency projects that align with your performances and community programming.
Fundraising Optimization Existing donation platform (Qgiv) and Wix site signal a solid foundation for fundraising; opportunities exist to optimize the donor journey with a lightweight CRM, recurring giving, enhanced events and ticketing, and analytics to boost donor acquisition and retention for adult, youth, and performance programs.
Digital Programming Growth Smart use of Zoom suggests potential to expand digital programming through streaming, on-demand classes, and hybrid formats; consider a scalable online membership or class pack model, plus monetized virtual workshops or performances to diversify revenue.
Local Arts Collaboration Berkeley's vibrant arts ecosystem offers potential partnerships with local foundations, schools, and cultural sponsors; propose co produced events, sponsorship packages, and grant collaborations that elevate visibility and funding for dance programs.
IT Modernization Disparate tools (Wix, Google Drive, GTM, React, Office, HSTS, Zoom) with a small team indicate room for IT efficiency and security improvements; services like cloud-based collaboration, data privacy/compliance, and tool rationalization could lower costs and improve program delivery.
