| Primary Exempt Purpose | Speaking Out Collective uses storytelling and story-making to spark the curiosity and imagination of children, educators and communities. We create tailored curricula, produce live performances and outreach programs, and offer professional development using a toolbox of techniques that incorporate puppets, poetry, music, dance, art and more. We celebrate and create a culture where stories and questions uplift young to old in becoming agents of change on topics such as fairness and ethics, race, identity, equity, community transformation and more. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |

| We increased our primary program revenue, storytelling for change residencies in schools and communities by 304%. We served ten elementary schools, mainly Title I, and several domestic violence shelters in and around the Twin Cities, Minnesota. An increase of 158% in specific contributed revenue allowed us to offer residencies to schools free of charge that otherwise could not afford it. Expenses continued to be kept low and often bare boned, but we ensured our teaching artists and artists were paid a livable wage, commensurate with their skills and talent. Expenses in total increased relative to the additional programming and moving to in-person versus only virtual. | $0 | $76,685 |
| In our outreach programming, we offered a puppet production at MN Fringe's Beyond the Box. We produce a local production or tour to children when we're not in the classroom during the summer. We also worked to create community murals to promote healing and conversation; working with three local muralists to paint art on building walls to uplift the Ayeeyo neighborhood traumatized by violence and racism in Minneapolis. And we also offered puppet making and screen printing at local events including Native American community celebrations. Thanks to new funding support our outreach programming grew 435% YOY. | $0 | $13,100 |
| Our professional development was offered to K-8 school teachers and at a professional educator conference. We teach critical literacy fundamentals to educators that results in improved student success in the classroom. While it's a small part of our operating revenue, we hope to increase this area in the future and use monies earned to better support staff in the development of both PD and new curriculum. | $0 | $4,100 |
