Why This Moment Matters

Over the past several months, we have taken significant steps to reduce expenses and stabilize Shine financially, including eliminating nearly $6,000 in monthly costs and making difficult staffing decisions.

Even with those changes, our expenses are still exceeding our income, and we are currently behind on rent.

It has become clear that our current model is not sustainable as it stands.

What Happens Next

The outcome of this 30-day campaign will help determine what Shine looks like moving forward.

The level of support we receive in the next 30 days will directly shape:

the scope of our programming
our structure as an organization
and how we continue serving students and families

We are actively working toward a more sustainable future for Shine but we need time to do that well.

One thing is certain:

Shine will always be a place where students are known, valued, and transformed through the performing arts.

Every gift, of any size, helps extend the time we need to fight for a future for Shine.

If Shine has impacted your family in any way, this is the moment to stand with us.
