Membership helps amplify underrepresented voices and stories - through affinity group storytelling workshops, community collaborations, and free tickets for folks that couldn't afford them.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The board reviews the 990 prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

In subsequent years, the board and executive director have reviewed compensation of staff annual as part of the overall budget approval process.
