“The prepared form 990 is reviewed by the members of the governing body before the return is filed with the irs.”

“The chair of the governing body, who is a volunteer and not compensated by dance place, operates independently without undue influence from the director. No member of the compensation sub-committee or governance committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest. Only those directors who are free of conflicts of interest may vote on executive compensation.”

“The members of the governing body annually determine the compensation of the executive director. Before making their determination, the members of the governing body consult an independent survey and review compensation paid by similar organizations in the area. The members of the governing body document the types of comparable data they relied upon in approving the compensation package. The compensation package is voted upon by the members of the governing body and the determination is documented in the minutes of their meetings.”

“The organization made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“In fy 2024, dance place proudly hosted 60 events on our brookland campus, welcoming 4,751 arts enthusiasts to experience our diverse presentation series. Our artist in residence program provided 371 hours of rehearsal and development space, supporting 38 local and non-local artists. Throughout the season, we were honored to collaborate with and engage over 500 artists and creative partners. Our education department continued to thrive, with over 4,122 adult class participants and 1,775 youth class participants and 14 teaching artists who make this work possible. Operating seven days a week for most of the year, our studios remained a vibrant hub for learning and artistic growth. Additionally, we provided $55,439 in scholarships to ensure accessibility and inclusion across our youth programs. None of this would be possible without our dedicated staff and volunteers. With a core team of 12 full-time staff members, our work is further strengthened by the invaluable contributions of our volunteers, who collectively donated over 2,000 hours of service.”
