Why Does Autistic Wings Need Its Own Space?

Currently, we are renting space from the amazing folks at On the Break Dance Academy. We absolutely love the people and they have welcomed us with open arms. However, their space isn’t big enough to house two dance studios. It is pretty much just an open retail space. We don’t have separate rooms to run multiple classes at once. For the last few months, we have been looking to get a place of our own.

In order to get our own space, we need some capital saved up. We would like around $3500 in recuring donations monthly to help us cover rent and overhead costs. We also need to keep renting space at On the Break to hold classes while we are building out the new space. Our CEO loves math, and she did some on the back of a napkin. She figures we need 350 people donating $10 a month to reach our goal. Which seems like a lot of people, but it takes a village sometimes.

We are looking at a few places around town. We are probably looking at paying around $48,000 for the buildout. Our hope is to buildout a studio by early next year.

This year, for the Giving Season, we’re raising money to help us with this project. Even a one-time donation of a few dollars goes a long way in helping our dancers have a place of their own, where they can be themselves, quirks and all.
