THE SCHOOL LEVERAGES A CULTURAL DISTRICT STRATEGY TO PRESERVE THE CULTURES, TRADITIONS, AND IDENTITIES THAT ARE UNIQUELY SAN JOSE TO ESTABLISH THE CITY'S FIRST CULTURAL DISTRICT WITH THE PLAZA AT ITS CENTER. THE ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1751 ALUM ROCK AVENUE IS THE FIRST STEP TO REALIZING LA AVENIDA, THE VISION OF A CULTURAL DISTRICT IN EAST SAN JOSE WITH THE PLAZA AT ITS CENTER. THE SCHOOL WILL EXPAND SOME OF ITS CURRENT PROGRAMS TO THIS BUILDING, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY HOUSE A BLACK BOX THEATER, A CAF, A FAMILY WELLNESS CENTER OPERATED BY GARDNER HEALTH SERVICES, AS WELL AS LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024, THE PROPERTY, REFERRED TO AS LA PLACITA, MOVED INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. IN PART, THE SCHOOL'S NEGATIVE CHANGE IN NET ASSETS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 IS RELATED TO THE RELEASE OF TEMPORARY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS AS THE SCHOOL EXPANDS FUNDS THAT ARE BOTH TIME AND PURPOSE RESTRICTED. 1958778 1112041 EVENTS - COMMUNITY ACCESS AND ENGAGEMENTTHE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES LOCAL ARTISTS, ARTS, AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES ACCESS TO THE PLAZA, TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON USING THE SPACE, AND ACCESS TO AUDIENCE NETWORKS. ACTIVATING AND CURATING THE SIX-ACRE, $35 MILLION, CITY-OWNED FACILITY AS A PROGRAMMABLE ARTS AND CULTURAL DESTINATION AND COMMUNITY HUB, THE SCHOOL PROVIDES EAST SAN JOSE RESIDENTS WITH A SAFE, ACTIVE, FAMILY VENUE FOR DIVERSE ARTS ACTIVITIES THAT SPEAK TO ITS UNIQUE CULTURAL HERITAGE. IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM WORKED WITH 60 COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PRESENT RELEVANT, MULTICULTURAL PROGRAMMING THAT CELEBRATED THE LOCAL COMMUNITY'S DIVERSITY AND SUBSIDIZED THE COST OF 156 PRODUCTIONS. IN 2024 AND 2023, THE SCHOOL WORKED WITH 97 AND 70 COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HOST AND PRESENT 194 EVENTS. THIS ACTIVATION CONTINUES TO INCREASE STEADILY AS THE ARTS AND CULTURAL SECTOR AND THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC.THE SCHOOL'S COMMUNITY ACCESS POLICY IS DEFINED PRIMARILY BY THE SPIRIT OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR COMMUNITY ACCESS AND ENGAGEMENT:CREATE WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE AND AFFORDABLE COMMUNITY GATHERINGS AND CULTURAL OFFERINGS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARTISTS, ARTS SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY-FOCUSED NONPROFITS THAT CAPITALIZE ON THE STRENGTHS OF THIS UNIQUE FACILITY AND LOCATION IN EAST SAN JOSE.DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS WITH A NETWORK OF ARTISTS, ARTS, AND COMMUNITY SCHOOLS TO LEVERAGE EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS AND CAPACITY WHILE ADVANCING AND GROWING COLLECTIVE IMPACT.BUILD COMMUNITY CONFIDENCE, ENTHUSIASM, AND TRUST OVER TIME THROUGH CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION, RESPONSIVENESS, AND A RELIABLE MENU OF OPPORTUNITIES.DEVELOP A BROAD MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOCUSING ON MEXICAN CULTURE WHILE ACTIVATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIAL INTEGRATION WITH THE WIDER MULTICULTURAL ARTISTIC COMMUNITY PRESENT IN SAN JOSE.FACILITATE MULTIPLE ENTRY POINTS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARTNER SCHOOLS, AND PRIVATE CLIENTS.CREATE A RELATIONSHIP OF RECIPROCITY WITH SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY THROUGH "MISSION COMPATIBLE" ACTIVATION OF SPACES.EMBRACE GRASSROOTS PARTICIPATION AS CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THE SCHOOLS' VISION AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.EVENTS - MARKET RATE RENTALTHE SCHOOL IS LOCATED IN A BEAUTIFUL, MULTI-USE VENUE IN A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT LOCATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SITE IS THE SAME PLACE WHERE CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST CESAR CHAVEZ ORGANIZED THE FIRST GRAPE BOYCOTT WITH THE FARMWORKER MOVEMENT. THE HOUSE HE LIVED IN IS LOCATED A QUARTER OF A MILE AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL.THE BUSINESS PLAN WRITTEN BY THE SCHOOL STEERING COMMITTEE IN 2011 IDENTIFIES RENTAL INCOME FROM THE FACILITY AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SCHOOL. AT ITS INCEPTION, THE SCHOOL HAS PARTNERED WITH A FOR-PROFIT COMPANY, GIANT CREATIVE SERVICES, TO ENSURE A CAREFUL, CREATIVE, AND ATTENTIVE APPROACH TO MARKET RATE RENTALS.THIS CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL STAFF RESULTED IN THE INCREASED USAGE OF THE FACILITY BY SEVERAL ART SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE EVENTS IN A MANNER NEVER BEFORE SEEN UNDER PREVIOUS OPERATORS. HOWEVER, IN FY22, THE SCHOOL DECIDED TO BRING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MARKET RATE RENTALS IN-HOUSE AND HIRED ITS OWN TEAM TO MANAGE THE DEPARTMENT. THE SCHOOL'S MARKET RATE RENTAL PROGRAM GENERATES REVENUE THAT THEN DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE SCHOOL'S PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, 98% OF ALL EVENTS AT THE PLAZA, THROUGH THE MARKET RATE RENTAL PROGRAM, ARE ROOTED IN THE COMMUNITY. IN 2024 AND 2023, THE PLAZA HOSTED OVER 80 PERSONAL CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS. AS BEFORE, THESE EVENTS ARE DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE COMMUNITY. 1277511 20250 FACILITYTHE SCHOOL OPERATES THE PLAZA, WHICH THE CITY OF SAN JOSE OWNS. THE SCHOOL LEVERAGES THE $35 MILLION FACILITY TO OFFER ITS PROGRAMS, INCLUDING QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION COURSES TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM; AN ARTS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR (I.E., THE MULTICULTURAL ARTS LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE); AND COMMUNITY EVENTS THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND MARKET RATE PROGRAMS. IN THIS WAY, THE LONG-UNDERUTILIZED FACILITY IS ACTIVATED AND TRANSFORMED INTO A VIBRANT HUB OF COMMUNITY ACTIVITY. 337433 ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMTHE SCHOOL PROVIDES A "MULTI-CULTURAL AND INTER-CULTURAL VENUE" FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS AND PROGRAMS THAT EMBRACE ALL CULTURES WHILE EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC TRADITIONS, CULTURAL HISTORY, AND CONTEMPORARY CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF MEXICAN AND LATIN AMERICAN ARTS. THE SCHOOL BELIEVES THAT THE ARTS ARE POWERFUL VEHICLES FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION - BY CREATING NURTURING COMMUNITIES FOR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY AT-RISK YOUTH. THE SCHOOL BELIEVES, AS RESEARCH INDICATES, THAT CREATIVE EXPERIENCES IN THE ARTS OFFER STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO "ENVISION AND SET GOALS, DETERMINE A METHOD TO REACH A GOAL, AND TRY IT OUT, IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVES, EVALUATE, REVISE, SOLVE PROBLEMS, IMAGINE, WORK COLLABORATIVELY, AND APPLY SELF-DISCIPLINE" (THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS).THE GOALS FOR THE ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM ARE TO ENGAGE YOUTH, AGES 4 TO 18, IN POSITIVE, CULTURALLY RELEVANT, SAFE, AND EMPOWERING LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT WILL INSPIRE AND STRENGTHEN THE YOUTH AND FAMILIES OF SAN JOSE TO BE AGENTS OF POSITIVE CHANGE. TO REACH THESE GOALS, THE SCHOOL SEEKS TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: 1) OFFER EAST SAN JOSE STUDENTS ACCESS TO ARTS EDUCATION; 2) ACTIVATE A COMMUNITY ASSET THE PLAZA, WHERE THE SCHOOL IS LOCATED; AND 3) OFFER QUALITY STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN THE ARTS. IN THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2021, THE ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM WAS PLACED ON HIATUS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. EVEN SO, THE SCHOOL DISTRIBUTED ABOUT 5,000 ART KITS TO STUDENTS FOR THEM TO CONTINUE ARTS ENGAGEMENT WHILE SHELTERING IN PLACE. THE ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM HAS NOT RETURNED TO ITS PRE-COVID LEVEL OF ACTIVITY. THIS IS PARTLY BECAUSE THE EAST SAN JOSE COMMUNITY THAT THE PROGRAM PRIMARILY SERVES REMAINS DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC. EVEN AS OTHER PARTS OF SAN JOSE RECOVER, EAST SAN JOSE'S RECOVERY LAGS, AND RESIDENTS HERE CANNOT PAY FOR ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. AS A RESULT, THE SCHOOL IS REDESIGNING ITS ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM TO BE FREE OF CHARGE TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO LIVE IN THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING THE PLAZA. IN 2024 AND 2023, THE SCHOOL OFFERED ALL OF ITS ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM ACTIVITIES FOR FREE AND SERVED 792 AND 682 STUDENTS THROUGH ITS SUMMER CAMPS AND COMMUNITY EVENT WORKSHOPS.MULTICULTURAL ARTS LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (MALI)MALI IS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR LEADERS OF COLOR IN THE ARTS, CULTURAL, AND ENTERTAINMENT SECTORS. THROUGH MALI'S YEAR-LONG TRAINING PROGRAM, THE SCHOOL DEVELOPS LOCAL MULTICULTURAL ARTS PRACTITIONERS BY GIVING THEM THE TECHNICAL SKILLS, PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS, AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES NECESSARY TO GROW AND SUSTAIN THEIR WORK, SCHOOLS, AND THE ARTS SECTOR IN SILICON VALLEY. SINCE 2008, MALI HAS WORKED WITH OVER 150 LEADERS OF COLOR IN SILICON VALLEY, OF WHICH 25 HOLD DIRECTOR-LEVEL POSITIONS, 22 ARE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, 12 ARE ARTIST LAUREATES, SIX ARE SAN JOSE CULTURAL AMBASSADORS, FIVE ARE RECIPIENTS OF THE LEIGH WEIMERS AWARD, AND SEVEN WORK IN GOVERNMENT. IN ADDITION, SINCE ITS FOUNDING, THE SCHOOL HAS INVESTED OVER $1.5 MILLION IN MALI MEMBERS AND HAS PROVIDED OVER 15,000 HOURS OF DIRECT INSTRUCTION, MENTORSHIP, AND NETWORKING. WITHOUT SUCH INVESTMENTS, THESE ARTISTS AND ARTS GROUPS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CREATIVE ECONOMY FULLY. MALI IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT WHEN LEADERS IN THE ARTS REFLECT THE ETHNIC MAKEUP OF THEIR LOCAL POPULATION, THE AGENCIES THEY REPRESENT ARE MORE CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TO THEIR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. TO PRIORITIZE AND CLARIFY DIVERSITY IN THE ARTS LEADERSHIP FIELD, MALI BUILDS INTENTIONAL NETWORKS AMONG ARTS LEADERS OF COLOR AND DEVELOPS IN THEM CULTURAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS THAT OVERCOME PAST TOKENISM. AS SUCH, MALI: 1) IDENTIFIES FUTURE AND EMERGING MULTICULTURAL ARTS LEADERS; 2) DEVELOPS AND DELIVERS A TRAINING PROGRAM THAT BUILDS UPON AND ENHANCES THEIR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE SO THEY CAN ADDRESS CHALLENGES TO SUCCESS AND STABILIZE OR GROW THEIR AGENCIES; AND, 3) EQUIPS THEM TO SUCCESSFULLY PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY FORUMS, INITIATIVES, AND TASK FORCES TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY ISSUES AND ADVOCATE FOR A STRONG, HEALTHY MULTICULTURAL ARTS COMMUNITY. 337433 4066223 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 85 0 1 76 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X VANESSA SHIEH 4087946250 1700 ALUM ROCK AVENUE SAN JOSE CA 95116 ALEXANDRA URBANOWSKI VICE CHAIR AND SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ITZA SANCHEZ BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN ACEVEDO TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANGELINA RAMOS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRENDAN RAWSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANGEL RIOS JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA PAZ-CEDILLOS CO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 158055 0 0 VANESSA SHIEH CO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 158055 0 0 FLAHERTY WARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL GARCIA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN MOORS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 OMAR PASSONS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA CANELA EMPLOYEE 40.00 X 102525 0 0 CHRISTOPHER ESPARZA EMPLOYEE 40.00 X 117420 0 0 EDGAR OCHOA EMPLOYEE 40.00 X 112570 0 0 648625 0 0 5 0 1 0 KOOLTURA MARKETING 310 S 1ST STREET SAN JOSE CA 95113 MARKETING 212451 1 180500 201455 3273487 3655442 RENTAL INCOME 531390 1112041 1112041 1112041 5359 5359 201764 199210 2554 2554 2554 86906 180500 22311 64595 64595 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 99062 99062 MINORITY INTEREST 900099 90650 90650 VIDEO PRODUCTION SERVI 900099 20250 20250 209962 5049953 1225495 0 169016 X 316110 256349 33998 25763 2469196 2002391 265567 201238 244357 185300 37874 21183 224077 181171 25540 17366 47500 17423 22237 7840 797033 612784 131305 52944 320947 92083 228537 327 23853 5379 12830 5644 61992 61992 91728 19277 72384 67 19804 19804 UTILITIES 471184 272046 199138 SPONSORSHIP EXPENSE 259852 259852 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 141205 128141 13064 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 70718 70718 76819 34027 39691 3101 5636375 4066223 1234679 335473 9009 6916 2895339 1938502 456667 378399 25526 46079 24439 55837 5020353 328120 4635599 4692233 9923476 10511390 17970055 17629356 518979 1392584 161244 196883 2038000 2068000 2718223 3657467 X 10615254 9979000 4636578 3992889 15251832 13971889 17970055 17629356 X -586422 -602871 -90650 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2836191 4260869 5377769 6061661 3655442 22191932 128821 116550 104007 91186 78078 518642 2965012 4377419 5481776 6152847 3733520 22710574 2239122 20471452 489 1028 2041 2713 5359 11630 8832 20662 37547 22637 119312 208990 22931194 3245084 0.89270 0.88110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2473516 2473516 2153579 104688 2048891 67130 38935 28195 326128 184497 141631 4692233 CURRENT DONATED RENT RECEIVABLE 616273 SECURITY DEPOSITS 19880 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS 7270085 LONG TERM DONATED RENT RECEIVABLES 2605152 10511390 LOAN PAYABLE 2000000 TENANT SECURITY DEPOSIT 23000 ACCRUED PREFERRED RETURN 45000 2068000 X 5128031 78078 78078 5049953 0 5049953 6317324 680949 680949 5636375 0 5636375 PART X, LINE 2: THE SCHOOL IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 23701D OF THE CALIFORNIA REVENUE TAXATION CODE.
