What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
M2ART
Making Mural Art - every month we study with artists and focus on a period of art history, telling stories about the artists. We draw, paint and scale for murals in that period, then end with a mural in that same style themed for the holiday of the month. We repeat this every month. We meet once a week for four hours but it can also be an afterschool program. We want it to be paired with permanent walls in every park in the nation, but especially at skateparks. Paint N SK8 parks. We will design and maintain the walls, provide the education and supply the paint when fully funded.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
1. to fundraise our entire budget for 2015\r\n2. to double our impact in Los Angeles at sites we are already working\r\n3. initiate projects in NYC, Miami, Detroit, Boston, Austin and Pittsburgh\r\n4. fly 5 artists to another state for mural making\r\n5. install five parks with permanent walls and education thru M2ART
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. We have a list of 100 possible donors who we will request 1-5000 from until we have a yes or no for this year.\r\n2. We will complete the curriculum for M2ART and package it for sale.\r\n3. We will plan a trip which will travel these artists.\r\n4. We will have 8 parlour parties and raise over $1000 per party.\r\n5. We will apply for funding.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We need more people helping but our founders are qualified to orchestrate and teach others to do the work.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have not had a parlour party and we have not sent emails to all 100 people. Our program is not funded yet and therefore we are not reliably drawing artists every Saturday to our program. We are not covering our infrastructure costs. We have established the budget and have garnered interest nationwide for our work to be initiated. We do not have a single consistent major backer who sees off the wall as their battle cry. We have not reached out to the celebrity community yet.
