In 2024, Asheville Movement Community, Inc. (Asheville Movement Collective, or AMC) experienced a year of expansion, realignment and reflection, continuing to fulfill its mission of cultivating safe inclusive spaces for free-form movement, community engagement and personal transformation. Despite the regional impact of Hurricane Helene, which significantly disrupted infrastructure in Western North Carolina, AMC remained steadfast in its commitment to serve the greater Asheville community.Ongoing Community OfferingsAMC maintained its core weekly programming, hosting two free-form movement events every Sunday morning and one on Friday evenings, serving approximately 9,957 adults and 323 children throughout the year. These events included structured openings focused on consent culture, community guidelines and the encouragement of authentic expressive movement. AMC continued to welcome intergenerational participation, with dancers ranging from young children (under parental supervision) to elders aged 75 and beyond.AMC also continued its partnership with Warren Wilson College, offering free movement experiences for students and staff as part of a broader educational collaboration that promotes embodiment, consent and community connection.Response to Hurricane HeleneIn the wake of Hurricane Helene, AMC offered financial support to grassroots community members who organized five outdoor dance events while much of Asheville remained without power or clean water. These gatherings became essential spaces for grief, healing, and solidarity. This response reflected AMCs commitment to resilience, mutual aid and embodied community care.Organizational Development & Leadership PathwaysAMC made strategic efforts to refine governance structures, improve volunteer engagement, and maintain transparency and accountability, while reducing administrative burdens. In 2024:?One Dancers Gathering was hosted to encourage direct community input.?New leadership pathways were activated, welcoming two new Dance Event Facilitators, three new Room Coordinators and one new Board Member.?Over 3,100 volunteer hours were contributed across all areas of AMCs operations.?Leadership training was provided for volunteers stepping into compensated coordination roles.?AMC engaged a professional coach/consultant to facilitate workshops with the Core Circle, supporting strategic growth and effective team dynamics.AMCs Consent Circle continued its important work in refining our communitys consent policy, further anchoring our commitment to cultivating a safe and aware culture.Community Partnerships and FundraisingAMC hosted fundraising events benefiting several local nonprofits including:?Center for Conscious Living and Dying?Brother Wolf Animal Rescue?Our Voice?Beloved Asheville a critical partner in disaster response during Hurricane HeleneAMC also upheld its No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds policy, which continues to inspire financial generosity from participants who are able to contribute above the suggested donation, helping to ensure equitable access to all events.Facilities and Childcare ProgramAMCs relationship with Evergreen Community Charter School remained strong, as the school again renewed our rental agreement, continuing to host our events. The free childcare program remained a pillar of inclusion, as AMC hired local childcare providers at a living wage and offered assistant roles for Red Cross-trained teens, supporting workforce development for youth in our community.The presence of children, parents and elders dancing together affirms AMCs vision of an intergenerational community in movement, fostering belonging and joy across varied age and experience.Strategic Vision and Infrastructure PlanningIn 2024, AMC deepened its efforts to explore options for a permanent venue, as increased revenue and community support have made this vision more attainable. Research and planning have focused on:?Grant opportunities?Fundraising strategy?Developing a sustainable business plan?Considering lease, partnership or purchase options for a permanent homeAMC has recognized the need for additional staffing to support this work and aims to expand its fundraising and strategic development capacity in 2025.Equity, Justice and RepresentationAMC leadership participated in local equity and justice initiatives, notably included:?The Executive Director engaged in the Keep it Moving Caucus and serves on the Blue Ridge Public Radio Community Advisory Board, ensuring that AMCs voice and values are part of larger regional conversations on equity and access.?The Executive Treasurer provided critical financial guidance, ensuring fiscal responsibility, especially during months when AMC could not operate due to storm-related closures.________________________________________Financial SummaryFor the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024:?Total Revenue: $101,804?Total Expenditures: $100,152?Net Revenue: $1,652________________________________________Closing ReflectionDespite environmental and economic challenges, 2024 was a year of resilience and vision for the Asheville Movement Collective nonprofit.
