Response 7.10: Please explain your methodology.* <br />Please explain. <br />'1 . We add up each visit (via the door counter) to the gallery. our events, our classes. ln 2024 we are projecting a total of 43.455 <br />visits based on door counier attendance counts for events, walk-ins and classes from January 1- September 1. Due to the <br />increase in 2024, we will predict a flat attendance with sustained marketing levels. <br />2. We review our Facebook demographics and Google analytics to understand where our visitors are from. <br />3. We review our membership and mailing list and see where they are from <br />4. We review a sample survey from the front desk that asks where visitors are from. This year we conducted two surveys the <br />week of 716 and 8129. <br />5. We compare the percentages of those from inside the county, out of the county, and out of the state. See attachment. <br />6. We determine an average percentage of ihose from out of the state and out of the county and apply that to the overall number <br />of visits. <br />Out of state average of all numbers is 5% plus out of county average is 25% totalling 30% out of Kittitas County. <br />7. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2A25 is 43455 x .A5= 2172 Out of state visitors 43455 <br />x .25 = 10,863 out of county visitors totalling 13035 visitors from out of county <br />8. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these 1 3035 visitors from out of state plus oui of county (434) will pay for <br />lodging. <br />We have been using the same methodology since 2014 <br />2500 characler linrl <br />Application Questions: Part 5 c <br />8l Funding <br />Response 8.1 : Does your organization have, or have you applied for funding from other sources? * <br />Yes <br />No <br />Response 8.2a: lf not, please explain why not.* <br />We apply for several grants throughoul the year from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington State Arts Commission, <br />Ellensburg Arts Commission as well as seek sporrsorships to support cur exh jbiis and programs. <br />2500 character limit <br />Response 8.3: What changes will be made if funding for your request is not available or recommended?* <br />We will scale down our promotion beyond 50 miles and adjust our exhibit calendar to include less visiiing a(ists. <br />25110 characler litrrit. <br />Matching Funds Percentage <br />2754.56 <br />fhis {ielil will airto lrll wilh the correct percenl.rqe based 01 yoLlr irlput to bl{lgel section belor/. <br />9l Project Budget Overview <br />Please complete budget for this projecUproposal. lf your agency operates independently of this project application it may not be necessary <br />to submit the entire agency budget.
