The first Tuesday of each month in January, February, March, April, May, September, October, and November, was our "All Ages Jazz Jam Session" which served over 100 different highschool and middleschool aged youth with 10 different mentors from the community that work/will work with Improvise Arts. Average audience attendance was 65 people, and an estimated 1,200 people ended up coming to the Jam sessions during 2024. Additionally, in 2024, Improvise Arts sent its Executive Director - Alex Massa - to 5 different high schools in the region to put on masterclasses, sectionals, and individual lessons in Jazz, Black American Music, and Improvisation/Spontanenous Composition. During 2024, ED Alex Massa worked with over 500 students in the Black Hills area. On December 3rd, 2024, IA hosted its first fundraiser - a Jam Session at a local establishment, that raised nearly $8,000 and had approximately 200 people in attendance to learn about the organizations mission. 0 2500 2500 DARLA DREW LERDAL DIRECTOR 1 0 0 0 CARRIE MOSER DIRECTOR 1 0 0 0 KRYSTAL BRESNAHAN DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 ALEXANDER L MASSA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SD ALEXANDER MASSA 601 KANSAS CITY ST SUITE 9 RAPID CITY SD 57701 6053907175 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 7592 7592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7592 7592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7592 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7592 7592 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Header, Line A Just another clarification that this form is late due to misunderstandings about the process and a recovery from a serious back surgery in early January 2025. This filing is late. In good faith, I had thought our tax year ended in June, and was recovering from surgery the first few months of the year. Ultimately, it is my own oversight - and won't happen again.
