Secondly, we must improve their interpersonal skills by promoting collaboration, healthy self-esteem and self-governance, enabling the autonomy needed to fulfill adult roles and responsibilities. Thirdly, by capitalizing on the emotional and social growth of our initial steps, we are able to create an environment whereby youth are able to effectively learn and make use of practical technical skills (in our case, digital art technology). false false 1658622 1777338 The Made in New York Animation Project (TAP) offered high quality virtual programming in New York City this year, serving over 1,500 New Yorkers and providing them with the emotional, social and technical support they need to thrive now and well into their bright futures. In the midst of increasingly turbulent times and unprecedented need, we have been able to continue to offer young people safe, creative and aspirational spaces to tell their stories, explore their potential and successfully work through some of the personal and professional obstacles that the pandemic only amplified.TAP also returned to in-person work at 7 NeON sites. Our accessible digital learning platform is designed to engage students across all levels of programming, providing them with continuity in skill-building, creative and imaginative thinking and professional development. TAP Animators and Licenced Creative Arts Therapists led the curriculum via Zoom.Our virtual training program (formerly known as the TAP Internship Program) remains highly successful and impactful. This year, TAP graduated 14 aspiring animators from an introductory Level I Training Program and 9 from an advanced Level II Training Program. 10 of this years graduates have acquired placements, either at TAP STUDIO, externally within the industry or further educational opportunities in animation. Post-graduate placements include the NYC Parks Dept, Mighty Oak Studio, The Mod Mentor, Paramount and advanced study at FITs Communication Design department and The New Schools Design and Technology department. 1658622 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 true false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true false false false NY X GABRIELLA CONSOLO 6462466195 413 WEST 14TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10014 BRIAN AUSTIN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 128876 0 8799 LAURIE PARISE MANAGING DIRECT 40.00 0.00 X 130374 0 0 LAURENCE AUSTIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW MUNN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN MACKSOUD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROSE POLIDORO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAMONA ROOPNARINE Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CARRIE WATT Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANK MAISELLO Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSE GOMEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 259250 8799 2 false false false 0 271751 168946 440697 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 611710 1777338 1777338 1777338 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2218035 1777338 0 0 0 0 259250 207400 25925 25925 0 804029 643223 80392 80414 0 122395 97916 12227 12252 88559 70847 8847 8865 0 0 0 0 0 0 177490 146357 31133 2285 1828 228 229 35628 28503 3559 3566 0 0 33703 26962 3367 3374 11640 9312 1163 1165 0 0 0 0 9696 9696 6063 6063 INTERNSHIPS 395818 395818 PAYROLL PROCESSING FEES 25022 20018 2502 2502 PROGRAM EXPENSES 742 742 0 1972320 1658622 175406 138292 177839 551731 0 100000 55450 68839 12200 0 0 0 0 600 0 46271 46271 10536 0 0 0 0 0 3700 3700 361514 623081 12133 27985 12133 27985 X 349381 595096 349381 595096 361514 623081 245715 X false true X true false X 69885 198375 251430 508106 440697 1468493 1378206 1636303 1969224 1508554 1777338 8269625 0 0 0 1448091 1834678 2220654 2016660 2218035 9738118 0 0 9738118 1007 132 1139 0 1007 132 1139 0 0 1448091 1835685 2220786 2016660 2218035 9739257 0.99990 0.99990 0.00010 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 46271 46271 2218035 2218035 2218035 1972320 1972320 1972320 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Brian Austin and Laurence Austin are brothers.
