Fundraising update

Thank you! All of us at CMW are so grateful to the many, many supporters across Rhode Island (and some from much further afield) who made our 13th season such a success. In particular, I'd like to thank the 67 friends who responded to Kirby's appeal and helped us raise $18,407 between June 1 and June 30 to end our fiscal year with a balanced budget. (To see a complete listing of our generous corporate and institutional supporters on our website, click here.)

CMW's 14th season will be particularly exciting and challenging, as we undertake several in-depth artistic projects and experiment with newly redesigned youth programming and weekly curricular activities. During Saturday's all-day retreat, CMW's Board of Directors approved an operating budget that includes a 13% increase to support our ability to carry out our mission of community transformation with even greater effectiveness. How are we going to accomplish this? Stay tuned for more details about our projects and experiments coming this fall… And thanks again for playing your part in ensuring our success!
