Our beneficiary members are required to live and/or work in Denton County while pursuing a career from the art or music they create and qualify as low-to-moderate income by Federal Government standards. At the heart of the County is the City of Denton, designated a Music-Friendly City by the State of Texas, with an established creative community that provides a unique cultural identity making Denton stand apart in North Texas. Our organization seeks to keep that creative community healthy, connected, and thriving. We do this through monthly financial assistance with health insurance, paid directly to all the major carriers on their behalf through our partnership with a local independent insurance agent. This enables them to afford to go to checkups, dental cleanings, eye exams, get medicines they need, etc. It means that if/when a major medical emergency happens, they are not forced to choose between their health and potentially crippling debt. They will remain healthy longer, so they can keep creatively contributing to the uniquely colorful expression of art and music that resides here. DMAC also provides networking opportunities for our members through required volunteer hours, as well as fundraising events. We have two anchor events throughout the year. The first is Amplify Denton, held in the spring in partnership with the Greater Denton Arts Council - a showcase of live music from local musicians and an art auction for visual artists. It also features a variety of vendors and offers food and beverages from local merchants. The second is Monster Dash, a 5k costume run held each October in partnership with the City of Denton's 31 Days of Halloween. It features a costume contest before the race, a Trick-or-Treat Trail with candy stops for children, and medals for the winners of multiple categories in the timed race. All the funds we raise are directed toward our primary purpose of keeping the creative community healthy by helping them to afford health insurance. We keep our overhead intentionally low at less than 5% of our roughly $100,000 annual budget. That means that at least 95% of any donation goes directly to our mission. Any donation amount, large or small, has impact. A commitment to monthly recurring donations allows us to plan, and DMAC has plans! We are currently serving up to 65 members with the funds we have secured primarily through community support, and from grants we have applied for. However, the need in the community is growing, and we have other programs we would like to fund. For example, we want to establish a Mental Health Fund to assist with payments for therapy, an Emergency Dental Fund, financial assistance for things like recording costs and application fees for juried art shows. Will you partner with us in supporting the people who make Denton such a special place to be? 0 0 0 49610 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 TX X Garrett Hardy 8179757627 624 W University Dr 113 Denton TX 76201 X Jennifer Kapinos President 20 0 X X 0 0 0 Matilda Weeden Secretary 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Cory Ward Volunteer Director 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Brad Steiger Event Operations Director 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Matthew Long Art Director 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Katherine Waddell Web Operations Director 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Stefanie Lazcano General Board Member 8 0 X X 0 0 0 Micah Strafford General Board Member 8 0 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23838 12008 0 770 28541 0 65157 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12008 0 65159 2 0 0 49610 49610 300 300 133 133 0 1169 1169 2417 1271 1146 2208 2208 236 236 Other Fundraising Expenses 1800 0 0 1800 202 202 58075 49610 1606 6859 3281 10373 36 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3317 10401 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3317 10401 0 0 3317 10401 3317 10401 7084 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 75393 76279 57728 66347 65157 340904 75393 76279 57728 66347 65157 340904 340904 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 2 75393 76279 57728 66347 65159 340906 0.99999 1 0.00001 0 X Stefanie Lazcano Person is a Board Member 1193 Monthly Health Insurance Subsidies Provide Health Insurance Subsidies Tara Linn Hunter Wife of a Board Member 1100 Monthly Health Insurance Subsidies Provide Health Insurance Subsidies Micah Strafford Person is a Board Member 1100 Monthly Health Insurance Subsidy Provide Health Insurance Subsidy Morgan Loftin Person is a Board Member 1700 Monthly Health Insurance Subsidy Provide Health Insurance Subsidy Stefanie Lazcano Person is a Board Member 300 Performance at Fundraising Event 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b During a board meeting prior to the deadline for filing this Form 990 tax return and after full preparation of this Form 990 tax return, the tax preparer presented this tax return to all board members and provided explanations of each section of the return.
