Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals. 2. Purpose: To continue to promote cultural activities and musical appreciation on Balboa Island by presenting live, classical musical concerts throughout the year. These concerts will be held at St. John Vianney Chapel at 314 Marine, Balboa Island. These presentations provide citizens with the low cost, quality performances. In addition the BIIA offers free Summer Concerts at Balboa Park, across from Beek Center on Agate. Both venues provide an outreach to all citizens residing within Newport Beach, as well as for visitors to the area. 2. Mission: The mission of the Balboa Island Improvement Association (BIIA) arts campaign is to promote a sense of community while enhancing the island's beauty, safety, livability and preserving its unique culture. 3. Goals: BIIA's goals for 2018-2019 is to continue to showcase the cultural tradition of the community by producing world-class musical performances performed by regional, classical musicians, as well as, offering free summer concerts. The summertime venue continues to offer popular, contemporary entertainment in the community setting of Balboa Park, located on Agate, adjacent to Beek Center. Since the BRA is a non-profit organization, the goal is not fundraising, but to produce high quality performances and a variety of musical entertainment for the residents of Balboa Island, Newport Beach and visitors alike. A. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed project/program. The Organization provides high quality, professional concerts that are affordable and/or free, thus providing a live, musical experience for the general public and for some who may otherwise not have this opportunity. The local location only enhances the opportunity for family attendance and for the elderly. B. Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program. This is the fourth year of outstanding perforin aces. In addition, the positive, immediate verbal feed -back from attendees indicate the appreciation and need for this local program and project to continue. Also we continue to have the support of the local merchants who help sponsor these programs by allowing promotional materials in their stores and provide a means of ticket sales. The fact that the project is all volunteer, emphasizes the sense of community involvement. 3. Describe the sMific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Moving forward, we would like to continue to provide another series of concerts and continue to promote and enhance community togetherness and appreciation of the arts. The below table is from the 2017-2018 performances: please note due to St. John Vianney's Chapel being retrofitted for earthquake construction in the first part of 2018, the number of performances was limited. The Chapel maximum is 172. The park attendance is an estimate as concert is free.

It is anticipated that a minimum of (4) Classical and (4) Summer concerts will be programmed. These concerts are NOT fundraising events. They are purely to promote the music, arts and culture within Newport Beach. The classical concert ticket price is generally $10 per person. The summer concerts are free. All ticket monies go to compensate the musicians and to offset the project/program costs for piano rental and promotional materials. To offset these costs we are requesting an increase of grant funds to $2,000. Although we are appreciative of the previous $1,000 grant, the project clearly requires additional underwriting to continue the program including piano moving / marketing material expenses . Is this a new or existing X project/program? 4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc. We will continue to serve ALL members of our community, young and young at heart living on Balboa Island, Newport Beach and the surrounding communities. Although the concerts are often attended by repeat audiences, we know that a significant number are new to each performance, thereby increasing the outreach to close to 1,000 people. 5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual operating budget. For multi -project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project. Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50 hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.) The Classical Concerts and Free Summer Concerts bring the community together. The success of this is measured by the repeat patronage. The continued support of the Monsignor and St. John Vianney's Chapel is testimony to the acceptance of these events within the religious as well as non -religious community. In addition, we have received local merchant feedback as to the increase in business on Balboa Island, for dining and shopping. The concerts are providing an economic benefit not only to the merchants but to the city of Newport Beach, which is another quantifiable outcome, 7.
