In the fall of 2021, Dept. of Sound began pre-production on a video interview series focused on amplifying the voices of Indigenous Music Artists. The series, scheduled to launch in the spring of 2023, focuses on the personal narratives and crafts of 3 selected Indigenous artists, and includes the recording of an audio sample pack of traditional Indigenous instruments. The selected artists include an established contemporary artist, a traditional artist, and a young emerging artist. Our selection hopes to shine a lens on multifaceted Indigenous voices from a historical, present, and future context through three artists who each integrate their personal ties to Native culture in their own unique artistic identities. 142002 0 78869 Dept. of Sound implements music and podcast production curriculum through live, online, and hybrid programming, including our self-paced Valley Producer Program; our two-year mentorship program, the Valley Producer Fellowship; our online Resource Hub; auxiliary programs with partners; and our Valley Producer Academy curriculum program for schools. In 2022, we partnered with 17 schools in 2 districts to provide curriculum licenses for students. Our program is designed in 10-week modules and can be customized to meet the specific needs of students in each school we serve. We provide professional development training in our curricula and the software we use for all existing music teachers, and if no instructor is available, we provide trained and certified music teaching artists. These activities provide access to youth by delivering music and podcast production education to students and teaching skills to support creative careers and personal well-being. 0 0 0 403439 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Lori Divine 9166623991 640 Tower Street North Bend OR 97459 John H Hodgson III Chief Executive Officer, CoFounder 40 0 X X X 82458 0 0 Tyler Garnett Board Chair, CoFounder 1 0 X 0 0 0 John H Hodgson II Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Alex Sioukas Board Member 0.5 X 0 0 0 Verna Sulpizo Hull Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 82458 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63936 25820 0 89756 119869 119869 0 0 119869 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 209625 119869 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87583 87583 0 0 0 0 0 0 69717 68220 1497 0 0 0 0 0 23629 23391 238 15788 15623 165 0 0 0 0 0 4450 4173 277 0 32040 0 32040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 155184 154634 261 289 89 64 0 25 12848 11193 1590 65 669 669 0 0 0 0 0 0 3010 3010 0 0 6735 6735 0 0 0 0 0 0 3440 3195 245 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5406 0 5406 0 Donation of inventory laptops to students 24949 24949 0 0 445537 403439 41719 379 167821 26568 0 0 0 80141 154910 0 0 0 0 0 0 6145 24949 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 347680 112854 10429 26515 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 0 0 0 10000 0 25429 26515 X 23534 -7350 298717 93689 322251 86339 347680 112854 -235912 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 31056 360886 606731 209725 1208398 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31056 360886 606731 209725 1208398 25420 1182978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1208398 1208398 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 CEO, John Hamilton Hodgson III is the son of Treasurer John H Hodgson II.
