What we aim to solve
With decreased funding for arts education in public schools, students rarely have opportunities to move past rudimentary exposure to the arts. Arts organizations and agencies are helping fill the gap with teaching artist-in-residence programs, but many organizations focus on art-making and could use support in educational program development and teacher training. Additionally schools often don't have the resources to identify and coordinate sustainable partnerships with arts organizations.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Pulse Arts aims to bridge the divide between Public Education and and further the development of arts education programs, facilitating equitable access to quality programs for youth.
We will be writing project-specific grants for artist in residence programs and doing outreach to arts organizations and school districts in the greater bay area to offer support and services. We hope to be able to offer consulting services at a subsidized rate and are in the process of generating a strategic plan for the organization.
We are currently working on a volunteer basis. We are collaborating with other organizations for grant implementation.
We will start to generate programs with the Pulse Arts name. We will also send out newsletter updates to our supporters regularly
We have written and obtained our first grant that will allow us to host 3 public arts events in the community and generate footage for a promotional video. We are working with two organizations to begin program implementation and support with curriculum development.

Organizational Demographics
In order to support nonprofits and gain valuable insight for the sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire. This section is a voluntary questionnaire that empowers organizations to share information on the demographics of who works in and leads organizations. To protect the identity of individuals, we do not display sexual orientation or disability information for organizations with fewer than 15 staff. Any values displayed in this section are percentages of the total number of individuals in each category (e.g. 20% of all Board members for X organization are female).
