Overview
Saratoga-based Montalvo Arts Center is a leading presenter and producer of performing arts events in the South Bay. In the 2008-09 season the organization dismissed one executive director, hired an interim director and recently hired Angela McConnell to be their new permanent director. Also during that time the organization reduced its annual operating budget from $6 million to $4.3 million and reduced a projected $1.5 million operating deficit to $250,000. With a $125,000 matching grant the organization will challenge its board, former trustees and other individual donors to work together over a 60 day period to eliminate its current deficit entirely and enter its upcoming fiscal year debt free.
($125,000/1; 100% of project).
