HOWEVER, WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF OUR WORK DURING THE PANDEMIC. KELLI DOOLITTLE, PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT SAGE: "FOR US IT'S BEEN GREAT [TO HAVE MVM WORK WITH YOUTH REMOTELY. WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE KIDS GETTING EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION. WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT AND MORE PERSONALIZED COMMITMENT BECAUSE THEY GET TO CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND HAVE DEDICATED SPACE FOR IT. WE'VE SEEN THEM WILLING TO STEP OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE MORE." 114083 155 7544 MVM STUDIO PROGRAMS: PRIOR TO THE MANDATED LOCKDOWN IN MARCH, MVM STUDIOS SERVED 74 STUDENTS TOTAL.

ALEX, AN AMP PARTICIPANT SAID: "IT MEANS A LOT TO ME TO BE ABLE TO WORK HERE DURING COVID BECAUSE MUSIC IS DEFINITELY THERAPEUTIC TO ME AND IT'S LIKE MY ESCAPE TO FOCUS ON MYSELF AND IT'S HARD TO DO THAT AT HOME BECAUSE THERE'S NO SCHOOL AND BECAUSE EVERYONE'S HOME AND I'M USUALLY HELPING WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER SO TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE HOME AND FOCUS SOLELY, COMPLETELY ON MYSELF FEELS VERY GOOD." 296458 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 16 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 OR X IAN MOUSER 9715338953 PO BOX 28043 PORTLAND OR 972288043 BENNA GOTTFRIED PRESIDENT 6.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN CHAVEZ VICE PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 COLEY LEHMAN SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE BARNUM TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 AJ BLUMENTHAL DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 DAMON BRISSETT DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 LISA HOSKINS-HOLMES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE PAYNE DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 ELIA UNVERZAGT DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 IAN MOUSER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 66485 0 5117 66485 0 5117 0 0 0 0 0 30179 106222 738184 18328 874585 MUSIC CLASSES 611600 22054 22054 INSTRUMENT RENTAL 611600 180 180 22234 19644 30179 26328 -6684 -6684 3750 0 3750 3750 OTHER REVENUE 900099 781 781 781 894666 22234 0 -2153 155 155 71602 34369 32937 4296 175487 128665 31982 14840 1386 1014 230 142 17716 11119 4641 1956 22067 14751 5820 1496 17524 17524 20008 20008 18537 16091 1192 1254 19410 19281 129 7984 4409 3284 291 33600 33600 720 504 216 349 228 121 1163 1163 7959 7959 PROGRAM EQUIPMENT 9612 9124 488 STAFF & VOLUNTEER DEVEL 8892 6422 1936 534 BANK CHARGES 7758 423 221 7114 EVENT EXPENSES 7650 215 0 7435 3056 8129 -6017 944 452635 296458 95738 60439 73927 229709 71015 126027 47471 324307 13549 628 4656 14440 19315 8066 1551 11249 212169 706360 24040 34600 0 41600 24040 76200 X 111170 276220 76959 353940 188129 630160 212169 706360 442031 0 X 0 0 0 X 257672 290918 400083 316180 874585 2139438 257672 290918 400083 316180 874585 2139438 571014 1568424 467 3 187 664 781 2102 2141540 345209 0.73240 0.87820 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME 2102 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8272 8272 11043 8066 2977 11249 X X X X X 1 JEN MITAS 2742 NE 137 AVENUE PORTLAND OR 97214 GRANT WRITER 0 0 20008 0 20008 OR MVM XII 49823 30179 19644 206 26122 49823 30179 19644 206 26122 26328 -6684 SCHEDULE G, PART I, LINE 2B, COLUMN (V) GRANT WRITING SERVICES FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 LAUNCHING NEW PROJECTS: CONSTRUCTION ON OUR EAST PORTLAND HEADQUARTERS WAS PAUSED IN SPRING 2020 AS THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK WAS UNKNOWN.
