We have evolved beyond an arts education organization to develop groundbreaking programs which address academic achievement, problem-solving and life skills. Big Thought's success is built upon a foundation of powerful and effective partnerships with civic, educational, arts and cultural resources to provide high quality education programming both in and out of school.Big Thought serves as the managing partner of Thriving Minds, a citywide system that joins the City of Dallas, Dallas Independent School District and more than 100 other organizations such as libraries, faith organizations, recreation centers and others to provide enriched instruction to youth participating in this unique after school program. Annually, this innovative partnership serves more than 300,000 children, families and teachers and delivers more than one million hours of individual creative instruction and programming.Young Audiences of North Texas, a program of Big Thought, offers a wide range of programming, including curriculum integrated workshops, performances, artist residences and master classes. These programs are carried out in schools, libraries and other venues to help close the educational gap in the arts. Dallas ArtsPartners is a groundbreaking collaboration between education, city and cultural organizations. Through this partnership, Big Thought coordinates and delivers more than 500 cultural outreach services, provides professional development to educators and leverages funding resources to help schools access and deliver high quality instructional programming. In 2009, Big Thought was tapped by the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee to create the region's largest service-learning initiative, SLANT 45: Service Learning Adventures in North Texas. Today, more than 50,000 youth have given close to a half million hours of service throughout North Texas-showcasing the value creative learning has on a child's ability to reason, design and turn thought into action. Big Thought continues to pledge its services to offer engaging program opportunities to children and families in-school, after-school, during the summer and throughout their neighborhoods and communities as part of a collective goal to help students become more imaginative, adaptable and productive adults. 11416326 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 507 0 true 442 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 57 57 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false X MARIANNE DEJONG 2145200023 2501 OAK LAWN AVENUE SUITE 550 DALLAS TX 75219 ANNETTE WATKINS 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMIT WALIA 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALETA STAMPLEY 2.00 X 0 0 0 Elaine Vitt 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ross Vick 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Travis 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Touchet 2.00 X 0 0 0 Anita Tarar 2.00 X 0 0 0 Norman K Stone 2.00 X 0 0 0 Natalie Sorrell 2.00 X 0 0 0 TRISH PARKS 2.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Simoni 2.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Simoni 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tracey Roach 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly E Proctor 2.00 X 0 0 0 Purvi Patel 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dustin Paschal 2.00 X 0 0 0 TAMARA MARINKOVIC 2.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Parker 2.00 X 0 0 0 Alfreda Norman 2.00 X 0 0 0 Monty Montgomery 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cliff Miercort 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Meyer 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Melton 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Scott McWilliams 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELORA LEISER 2.00 X 0 0 0 Don McClain 2.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN LADAY 2.00 X 0 0 0 LEIGH ANN HAUGH 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jenny Kirtland 2.00 X 0 0 0 Amy King 2.00 X 0 0 0 Irene Hosford 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Hoffman 2.00 X 0 0 0 Clayton P Henry 2.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Heil 2.00 X 0 0 0 Randee Paur Hefflefinger 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tammy Hartnett 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rhonda Grubbs 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bret Gerard 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET DINNENY 2.00 X 0 0 0 Selso Garcia 2.00 X 0 0 0 IAN DAILEY 2.00 X 0 0 0 Beth Ganslen 2.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Flores 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Flume 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jane Fergason 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Embrey 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Darlow 2.00 X 0 0 0 Maura Conley 2.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE A CORRIGAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Corbellini 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rob Burks 2.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Cheek 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sherry Boyd 2.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Baldwin 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea Burnett 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Abers 2.00 X 0 0 0 Marianne deJong 40.00 X 132461 0 3600 Giselle Antoni 40.00 X 213664 0 3600 MARGIE REESE 40.00 X 147676 0 3600 NANCY WEBB 40.00 X 148059 0 3600 KARIM VIRANI 40.00 X 106076 0 0 747936 14400 5 false true false UNITED HEALTH CARE 5001 LBJ Freeway Dallas TX 75244 HEALTH INSURANCE 313120 JUNIOR PLAYERS 4054 Mckinney Ave 104 DALLAST TX 75204 PROGRAM SERVICES 170224 Gaedeke Landers LLC LTD 2501 Oak Lawn Avenue DALLAS TX 75219 SPACE RENTAL 170617 DALLAS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 3001 MCKINNEY AVE DALLAS TX 75204 PROGRAM SERVICES 194905 COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP 1029 VERMONT AVE NW NINTH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20005 RESEARCH CONSULTING 171327 12 5292605 6710095 12002700 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 611710 1589758 1589758 OTHER INCOME 900099 95970 95970 1685728 8863 8863 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13697291 1685728 8863 0 0 0 0 752150 148500 455150 148500 0 5041479 4156863 578130 306486 0 339355 274877 40723 23755 513364 415825 61604 35935 0 0 34000 34000 0 0 0 52076 52076 73529 32843 5205 35481 540949 434815 105113 1021 112031 66557 41823 3651 0 219364 186560 22339 10465 153590 109916 40245 3429 0 0 0 0 52786 44173 5865 2748 33152 27652 3825 1675 Miscellaneous 214973 70356 41753 102864 Contract Services 1088333 1037815 20065 30453 Agency Fees 2006614 2006614 Artist Fees 2194525 2194525 222229 208435 12863 931 13644499 11416326 1520779 707394 806786 321722 2944692 4063847 3448458 2458776 735346 127000 0 0 0 0 132656 125031 1884824 1290101 80212 594723 0 0 0 0 11349 11348 8159499 7702447 1243230 1182030 1243230 1182030 X 4139701 4176019 2776568 2344398 6916269 6520417 8159499 7702447 X 52792 -448644 X false true true X true true X 7869556 9465576 8506017 11256549 12002700 49100398 0 0 7869556 9465576 8506017 11256549 12002700 49100398 12084656 37015742 106413 76110 11647 4984 8863 208017 0 0 49308415 6716052 0.75070 0.70350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1884824 1290101 594723 594723 13697291 13644499 52792 -448644 -448644 -395852 13697891 600 600 13697291 13697291 13644499 13644499 13644499 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization had no unrelated business income tax for the year ended June 30, 2012.
