	FILM IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF OUR ARTS AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPE. SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY (SLFS) HAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE, LARGEST MEMBERSHIP, AND LARGEST COMMUNITY SERVICES-BASED PROGRAM FOR FILM ARTS IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. SLFS DELIVERS SOCIALLY RELEVANT FILM AND COMMUNITY CULTURAL PROGRAMS TO PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTINUUM EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. SLFS EXCEEDS THE ZAP TIER 1 FUNDING CRITERIA FOR CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC IMPACT, GOVERNING BOARD, AUDIENCE SERVED AND COMMUNITY/OUTREACH, MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STABILITY AND FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY. SLFS IS THE ONLY FACILITY DEPENDENT ARTS OPERATOR OF THIS SIZE, WITH A CURRENT ECONOMIC IMPACT OF OVER 8 MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR THAT IS NOT YET COUNTY SUPPORTED IN ZAP TIER 1. OUR HARD-EARNED ACHIEVEMENTS AND DEPTH OF CONTRIBUTIONS BACK TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS PROVE THAT SLFS IS WORTHY OF RECEIVING FULL SUPPORT FROM ZAP TIER 1 TAX FUNDED DOLLARS. THE SLFS MISSION AS THE PREMIERE FILM ESTABLISHMENT IS TO PRESENT A DIVERSITY OF FILM EXHIBITION AND RELATED CULTURAL EVENTS TO EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, AND INFORM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY ABOUT AND THROUGH CINEMA. SLFS FOSTERS LOCAL FILM TALENT AND STRENGTHENS FILM APPRECIATION AND PARTICIPATION. SLFS PROGRAMS AND VENUES ENSURE THAT THE POTENT IDEAS AND VOICES OF FILM ARE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SLFS WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY A SMALL GROUP OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS DETERMINED TO SAVE THE HISTORIC TOWER THEATER AND KEEP DIVERSE AND INDEPENDENT FILM CONTENT ACCESSIBLE. ELEVEN YEARS LATER, SLFS PRESENTS THE FINEST IN FILM PROGRAMMING AND RELATED CULTURAL EVENTS TO NEARLY MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY. IN ITS FIRST DECADE, SLFS HAS CULTIVATED ONE OF THE LARGEST ARTS AUDIENCES IN UTAH AND NOW OPERATES 2 FACILITIES, THE TOWER THEATER AND CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT BROADWAY CENTER CINEMAS 365 DAYS A YEAR. EVER RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND INTERESTS, SLFS IS CONTINUALLY EXPLORING NEW WAYS TO BRING DIVERSE AUDIENCES TO FILM PRESENTATIONS. SLFS DELIVERS ROBUST YEAR-ROUND REGULAR SEASON PROGRAMMING ON SEVEN SCREENS IN TWO VENUES. OUR THREE UNIQUE PROGRAM INITIATIVES DIG DEEP INTO FURTHERING OUR MISSION OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, EDUCATION AND CULTURAL ENHANCEMENT. IN 2012, SLFS TREATED OVER 27,000 RESIDENTS TO FREE FILM PRESENTATIONS, NEARLY 4,000 FOLKS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESENTATIONS, AND OVER 16,000 FILM TITLES WERE LOANED TO RESIDENTS THROUGH THE TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION WITH 6,000 FREE ARCHIVE LOANS. NEARLY 210,000 SALT LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS ATTENDED OUR PROGRAMS, WITH A TOTAL OF NEARLY MILLION RESIDENTS ATTENDING FACILITY PROGRAMS. SLFS COMPLETED 22 COMMUNITY PROJECTS FULFILLING 3 CORE INITIATIVES TO EMBRACE THE COMPLEXITY OF FILM IN OUR ARTS COMMUNITY. SLFS DELIVERED MEASURABLY BENEFICIAL CONTENT, INCREASED AUDIENCE ACCESS TO FURTHER DIALOGUE REGARDING FILM'S PLACE AS A VITAL CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. PROGRAMS 1.FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVE (3 PROGRAMS): LOCAL OPEN SCREEN NIGHT, UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTORS PROJECT AND UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT. THESE EDUCATIONAL AND ARTIST FOSTERING PROGRAMS PRESENT EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES TO NEW FILM MAKERS, AND BRING LOCAL ARTISTS TOGETHER WITH ESTABLISHED FILM PROFESSIONALS FOR MENTORING/WORKSHOPS TO DEVELOP CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL SKILLS. FUNDED IN PART BY ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS & SCIENCES AND ECCLES FOUNDATION. 2.CULTURE & EDUCATION INITIATIVE (8 PROGRAMS): EACH PROGRAM OFFERS THE COMMUNITY FREE OR REDUCED ACCESS TO FILM PRESENTATIONS AND RELATED EVENTS. BIG PICTURES, LITTLE PEOPLE, NOW IN ITS 8TH YEAR, BRINGS OVER 1,000 UNDERSERVED CHILDREN TO THE THEATER TO EXPERIENCE AN ARTISTIC FILM, FUNDED BY THE GEORGE Q MORRIS FOUNDATION, HEMINGWAY FOUNDATION AND PAST ZAP AWARDS. TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION ALLOWS OUR STUDENTS AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY ACCESS TO OVER 5,000 RARE FILM TITLES FOR FREE OR REDUCED PRICES; IVORY TOWER SERIES BUILDS FROM A STRONG COLLABORATION WITH WESTMINSTER COLLEGE TO PAIR A CLASSIC FILM WITH A STUDENT LECTURE; VISITING FILM ARTISTS AND PANELS BRINGS FILMMAKERS TO TOWN TO INTERACT DIRECTLY WITH THE COMMUNITY; SCHOOL GROUP TOURS INCLUDE A BEHIND THE SCENE LOOK AT THE THEATER AND A SHORT CLASSIC CHAPLIN FILM; GLOBAL FILM INITIATIVE BUSES IN OVER 600 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PER YEAR TO ATTEND INTERNATIONAL FILMS FREE OF CHARGE. OUR MEXICAN AND CZECH FILM TOURS LAUNCH IN 2012 TO BROADEN CULTURAL ACCESS TO CINEMA FROM NATIVE NATIONS. 3.FILM ACCESS INITIATIVE (11 PROGRAMS): OUR LARGEST INITIATIVE, EACH PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PROVIDING COMMUNITY ACCESS TO DIVERSE CONTENT IN AMERICAN INDEPENDENT, INTERNATIONAL, HISTORIC AND DOCUMENTARY CINEMA. INCLUDES FILM SERIES AND RELATED INTERACTIVE EVENTS THAT ATTRACT YOUTH, FAMILIES AND MINORITY DEMOGRAPHICS. HIGHLIGHTS; SING WITH: GREAT MUSICALS SERIES INVITES AUDIENCES TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERACTIVE FILM EXPERIENCE INCLUDING ACTORS, COSTUME CONTESTS, RELATED FILM PROPS, FOOD AND SONG;. TOWER THROUGH TIME THRILLS NEW AND OLD AUDIENCES THROUGH A RETROSPECTIVE CLASSIC FILM SERIES; IT'S GOOD TO BE YOUNG IGNITES THE AUDIENCES OF TOMORROW WITH A FREE WEEKLY SCREENING FOR YOUTH 21 AND YOUNGER; LIVE STAGE SHOWS COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ACTORS TO CREATE A FILM THROUGH THEATER EXPERIENCE; LGBT SCREENING SERIES BRINGS LGBT NEW AND CLASSIC TITLES; AND THE SUMMER OF 35MM BOLDLY GOES WHERE NO OTHER FILM SERIES WILL GO, OFFERING THE CULT WORLD OF HORROR AND GENRE FILMS. SLFS MISSION SERVICES ARE NOT EVEN COMPARABLE TO THE PRODUCT-DRIVEN SERVICES OF A TRADITIONAL MULTIPLEX. SLFS IS OUR CITY'S ONLY LOCAL, NON- PROFIT, FULL TIME VENUE FOR NON-MAINSTREAM, NON-COMMERCIAL, AND NON- HOLLYWOOD FILM PRESENTATIONS. SLFS KEEPS OUR INFORMED, ENGAGED AND EDUCATED BY PROVIDING UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT FILM PROGRAMMING THAT WOULD NEVER BE SEEN IN SALT LAKE COUNTY OTHERWISE. LIKE OUR SYMPHONY & OPERA, BALLET, OR PERFORMING ARTS PEER ORGANIZATIONS, TICKET REVENUES ALONE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT SLFS' CULTURAL, ARTISTIC, EDUCATIONAL AND LOW-INCOME ACCESS PROGRAMS OR RELATED VENUE OPERATIONS AND FACILITY EXPENSES. NOR DO THEY ADEQUATELY COVER THE RECENT 64% INCREASE IN ROYALTY FEES, THE CAPITAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAPID DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WAVE OR THE 63% INCREASE IN THE BASIC FIXED COSTS (RENT, UTILITIES, REPAIRS) OF OPERATING TWO PRESENTING VENUES. OVER THE LAST DECADE, SLFS HAS BORN THE BRUNT OF CAPITAL MAINTENANCE COSTS UNLIKE MANY OTHER ARTS INSTITUTIONS IN OUR STATE THAT HAVE SUCH A LARGE AUDIENCE AND IMPACT. SLFS HAS, ON OUR OWN, GROWN PROGRAMS TO BE WORTHY OF SUPPORT, FUNDRAISED TO REPLACE THE TOWER'S HVAC SYSTEM AND ROOF, AND RETROFITTED THE BROADWAY'S RESTROOMS AND RECENTLY UPGRADED SEATS. WE HAVE DONE SO WITH NOT A NARROW BASE OF FOUNDATION AND SUPPORT OF HIGHER WEALTH IN THE CITY, BUT THROUGH A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE EVERY-DAY RESIDENTS OF SALT LAKE COUNTY (SLFS RAISED 54,000 IN 4 WEEKS FROM OVER 300 INDIVIDUALS WITH AN AVERAGE DONATION OF 180). SLFS PROGRAM STAFF CURATE OUR PROGRAMS AND ARRANGE FOR THEIR PUBLIC PRESENTATION. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION IS TO EXPAND PUBLIC APPRECIATION OF DIVERSE ART FORMS. SLFS IS RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S INTERESTS AND CONTINUALLY INNOVATES AND REACHES OUT. OUR 2012 MEXICAN AND CZECH FILM TOURS ARE JUST TWO EXAMPLES. SLFS ASSUMES ALL OF THE FINANCIAL RISK EVERY TIME IT BRINGS A FILM TO TOWN. WE HANDLE ALL OF THE MARKETING, BOX OFFICE AND VENUE MANAGEMENT FOR TWO FACILITIES. SLFS OFTEN PRESENTS NEW WORK INCLUDING THE WORK OF ITS SCREENWRITING AND DIRECTING STUDENTS AND OPEN SCREEN NIGHT FIRST TIME FILMMAKERS. SLFS PRODUCES MULTI MEDIA EVENTS WITH ITS SING WITH: GREAT MUSICALS SERIES AND WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER ARTISTS THAT INCLUDE ACTORS, SINGERS, VISUAL ARTISTS AND LOCAL AND NATIONAL FILMMAKERS AND DIRECTORS. TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL, SLFS ADHERES TO A STRICT STRATEGY OF PLANNING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO OUR SUCCESS SINCE THE SLFS TEAM IS SMALL AND EACH INDIVIDUAL IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR SUCCESS: FROM BOARD TO VOLUNTEERS TO PAID STAFF. SLFS MAINTAINS ETHICAL OPERATIONS AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ACCORDANCE AS A MEMBER OF THE UTAH NON-PROFITS ASSOCIATION. THREE-YEAR AND TEN-YEAR STRATEGIC PLANS ARE THOUGHTFULLY PLOTTED AND REVIEWED QUARTERLY ALONG WITH PROGRAM ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL HEALTH REVIEWS. SLFS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADVISORY BOARD ARE TASKED WITH ENSURING THAT SLFS STAYS ON TRACK TO MEET ITS GOALS. SLFS GOALS: 1.ZAP TIER 1 FUNDING - AFTER 11 YEARS OF PROVIDING PREDICTABLE EXEMPLARY COMMUNITY SERVICE IN THE ARTS, SLFS IS ASKING TO RECEIVE THE "ADEQUATE PREDICTABLE SUPPORT" OF TIER 1 FUNDING. SLFS IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED AND HIGHLY REGARDED ARTS ORGANIZATION IN SALT LAKE COUNTY ANNUALLY GENERATING ONE OF THE LARGEST ARTS AUDIENCES IN THE STATE. SLFS PROVIDES EXEMPLARY COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFERING 141 FREE OR DISCOUNTED OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN ADDITION TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING THAT SERVE AND ENRICH THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WITH A SOLID RECORD OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED QUALITY PROGRAMMING AND A HISTORY OF FISCAL AND

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY ("SLFS") PROVIDES FILM PROGRAMMING THAT IS SENSITIVE TO CURRENT SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL ISSUES THAT ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. SLFS MAKES AVAILABLE A VARIETY OF CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORICAL FILM AND PROVIDES A VENUE FOR THE EXHIBITION AND DISCUSSION OF ARTISTIC WORK THAT EXHIBITS MERIT BUT IS OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC DUE TO FILMMAKERS' FUNDING CONSTRAINTS. SLFS ALSO MAKES AVAILABLE REFERENCE MATERIALS TO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING COMPARATIVE STUDIES, DIRECTOR STUDIES OR EXPANDING A GENERAL INTEREST IN FILMMAKING. SLFS PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR LOCAL UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS WHO UTILIZE DVD IN THE FURTHERANCE OF STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF WORLD HISTORY, CULTURE AND CURRENT EVENTS. IN ADDITION, SLFS COORDINATES WITH UNIVERSITIES AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO PRESENT PROGRAMS TAILORED TO EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND IN TARGET OF INCREASING AWARENESS OF DIVERSE CULTURES THROUGH CINEMA. FURTHER, SLFS IS COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMMING TO GENERATE INTEREST IN ARTISTIC, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL FILM. SLFS PROMOTES PUBLIC AWARENESS OF, AND INVOLVEMENT IN, DISCUSSIONS OF CURRENT SOCIAL THEMES AS THEY ARISE IN CONTEMPORARY CINEMA. SLFS FOSTERS LOCAL AND REGIONAL UTAH FILM TALENT AND PROVIDES PROGRAMS THAT ENSURE NETWORKING AND INTERCONNECTIVITY OF OUR COMMUNITY IN FILM IS SUPPORTED, SUSTAINED AND ENRICHED.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION	FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST 11 YEARS PROVE THAT SLFS IS WORTHY OF RECEIVING FULL SUPPORT FROM ZAP TIER 1 TAX FUNDED DOLLARS. THE SLFS MISSION AS THE PREMIERE FILM ESTABLISHMENT IS TO PRESENT A DIVERSITY OF FILM EXHIBITION AND RELATED CULTURAL EVENTS TO EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, AND INFORM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY ABOUT AND THROUGH CINEMA. SLFS FOSTERS LOCAL FILM TALENT AND STRENGTHENS FILM APPRECIATION AND PARTICIPATION. SLFS PROGRAMS AND VENUES ENSURE THAT THE POTENT IDEAS AND VOICES OF FILM ARE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY. SLFS WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY A SMALL GROUP OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS DETERMINED TO SAVE THE HISTORIC TOWER THEATER AND KEEP DIVERSE AND INDEPENDENT FILM CONTENT ACCESSIBLE. ELEVEN YEARS LATER, SLFS PRESENTS THE FINEST IN FILM PROGRAMMING AND RELATED CULTURAL EVENTS TO NEARLY MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY. IN ITS FIRST DECADE, SLFS HAS CULTIVATED ONE OF THE LARGEST ARTS AUDIENCES IN UTAH AND NOW OPERATES 2 FACILITIES, THE TOWER THEATER AND CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT BROADWAY CENTER CINEMAS 365 DAYS A YEAR. EVER RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND INTERESTS, SLFS IS CONTINUALLY EXPLORING NEW WAYS TO BRING DIVERSE AUDIENCES TO FILM PRESENTATIONS. SLFS DELIVERS ROBUST YEAR-ROUND REGULAR SEASON PROGRAMMING ON SEVEN SCREENS IN TWO VENUES. OUR THREE UNIQUE PROGRAM INITIATIVES DIG DEEP INTO FURTHERING OUR MISSION OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, EDUCATION AND CULTURAL ENHANCEMENT. IN 2012, SLFS TREATED OVER 27,000 RESIDENTS TO FREE FILM PRESENTATIONS, NEARLY 4,000 FOLKS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESENTATIONS, AND OVER 16,000 FILM TITLES WERE LOANED TO RESIDENTS THROUGH THE TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION WITH 6,000 FREE ARCHIVE LOANS. NEARLY 210,000 SALT LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS ATTENDED OUR PROGRAMS, WITH A TOTAL OF NEARLY MILLION RESIDENTS ATTENDING FACILITY PROGRAMS. SLFS COMPLETED 22 COMMUNITY PROJECTS FULFILLING 3 CORE INITIATIVES TO EMBRACE THE COMPLEXITY OF FILM IN OUR ARTS COMMUNITY. SLFS DELIVERED MEASURABLY BENEFICIAL CONTENT, INCREASED AUDIENCE ACCESS TO FURTHER DIALOGUE REGARDING FILM'S PLACE AS A VITAL CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. PROGRAMS 1.FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVE (3 PROGRAMS): LOCAL OPEN SCREEN NIGHT, UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTORS PROJECT AND UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT. THESE EDUCATIONAL AND ARTIST FOSTERING PROGRAMS PRESENT EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES TO NEW FILM MAKERS, AND BRING LOCAL ARTISTS TOGETHER WITH ESTABLISHED FILM PROFESSIONALS FOR MENTORING/WORKSHOPS TO DEVELOP CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL SKILLS. FUNDED IN PART BY ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS & SCIENCES AND ECCLES FOUNDATION. 2.CULTURE & EDUCATION INITIATIVE (8 PROGRAMS): EACH PROGRAM OFFERS THE COMMUNITY FREE OR REDUCED ACCESS TO FILM PRESENTATIONS AND RELATED EVENTS. BIG PICTURES, LITTLE PEOPLE, NOW IN ITS 8TH YEAR, BRINGS OVER 1,000 UNDERSERVED CHILDREN TO THE THEATER TO EXPERIENCE AN ARTISTIC FILM, FUNDED BY THE GEORGE Q MORRIS FOUNDATION, HEMINGWAY FOUNDATION AND PAST ZAP AWARDS. TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION ALLOWS OUR STUDENTS AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY ACCESS TO OVER 5,000 RARE FILM TITLES FOR FREE OR REDUCED PRICES; IVORY TOWER SERIES BUILDS FROM A STRONG COLLABORATION WITH WESTMINSTER COLLEGE TO PAIR A CLASSIC FILM WITH A STUDENT LECTURE; VISITING FILM ARTISTS AND PANELS BRINGS FILMMAKERS TO TOWN TO INTERACT DIRECTLY WITH THE COMMUNITY; SCHOOL GROUP TOURS INCLUDE A BEHIND THE SCENE LOOK AT THE THEATER AND A SHORT CLASSIC CHAPLIN FILM; GLOBAL FILM INITIATIVE BUSES IN OVER 600 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PER YEAR TO ATTEND INTERNATIONAL FILMS FREE OF CHARGE. OUR MEXICAN AND CZECH FILM TOURS LAUNCH IN 2012 TO BROADEN CULTURAL ACCESS TO CINEMA FROM NATIVE NATIONS. 3.FILM ACCESS INITIATIVE (11 PROGRAMS): OUR LARGEST INITIATIVE, EACH PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PROVIDING COMMUNITY ACCESS TO DIVERSE CONTENT IN AMERICAN INDEPENDENT, INTERNATIONAL, HISTORIC AND DOCUMENTARY CINEMA. INCLUDES FILM SERIES AND RELATED INTERACTIVE EVENTS THAT ATTRACT YOUTH, FAMILIES AND MINORITY DEMOGRAPHICS. HIGHLIGHTS; SING WITH: GREAT MUSICALS SERIES INVITES AUDIENCES TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERACTIVE FILM EXPERIENCE INCLUDING ACTORS, COSTUME CONTESTS, RELATED FILM PROPS, FOOD AND SONG;. TOWER THROUGH TIME THRILLS NEW AND OLD AUDIENCES THROUGH A RETROSPECTIVE CLASSIC FILM SERIES; IT'S GOOD TO BE YOUNG IGNITES THE AUDIENCES OF TOMORROW WITH A FREE WEEKLY SCREENING FOR YOUTH 21 AND YOUNGER; LIVE STAGE SHOWS COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ACTORS TO CREATE A FILM THROUGH THEATER EXPERIENCE; LGBT SCREENING SERIES BRINGS LGBT NEW AND CLASSIC TITLES; AND THE SUMMER OF 35MM BOLDLY GOES WHERE NO OTHER FILM SERIES WILL GO, OFFERING THE CULT WORLD OF HORROR AND GENRE FILMS. SLFS MISSION SERVICES ARE NOT EVEN COMPARABLE TO THE PRODUCT-DRIVEN SERVICES OF A TRADITIONAL MULTIPLEX. SLFS IS OUR CITY'S ONLY LOCAL, NON- PROFIT, FULL TIME VENUE FOR NON-MAINSTREAM, NON-COMMERCIAL, AND NON- HOLLYWOOD FILM PRESENTATIONS. SLFS KEEPS OUR INFORMED, ENGAGED AND EDUCATED BY PROVIDING UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT FILM PROGRAMMING THAT WOULD NEVER BE SEEN IN SALT LAKE COUNTY OTHERWISE. LIKE OUR SYMPHONY & OPERA, BALLET, OR PERFORMING ARTS PEER ORGANIZATIONS, TICKET REVENUES ALONE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT SLFS' CULTURAL, ARTISTIC, EDUCATIONAL AND LOW-INCOME ACCESS PROGRAMS OR RELATED VENUE OPERATIONS AND FACILITY EXPENSES. NOR DO THEY ADEQUATELY COVER THE RECENT 64% INCREASE IN ROYALTY FEES, THE CAPITAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAPID DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WAVE OR THE 63% INCREASE IN THE BASIC FIXED COSTS (RENT, UTILITIES, REPAIRS) OF OPERATING TWO PRESENTING VENUES. OVER THE LAST DECADE, SLFS HAS BORN THE BRUNT OF CAPITAL MAINTENANCE COSTS UNLIKE MANY OTHER ARTS INSTITUTIONS IN OUR STATE THAT HAVE SUCH A LARGE AUDIENCE AND IMPACT. SLFS HAS, ON OUR OWN, GROWN PROGRAMS TO BE WORTHY OF SUPPORT, FUNDRAISED TO REPLACE THE TOWER'S HVAC SYSTEM AND ROOF, AND RETROFITTED THE BROADWAY'S RESTROOMS AND RECENTLY UPGRADED SEATS. WE HAVE DONE SO WITH NOT A NARROW BASE OF FOUNDATION AND SUPPORT OF HIGHER WEALTH IN THE CITY, BUT THROUGH A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE EVERY-DAY RESIDENTS OF SALT LAKE COUNTY (SLFS RAISED 54,000 IN 4 WEEKS FROM OVER 300 INDIVIDUALS WITH AN AVERAGE DONATION OF 180). SLFS PROGRAM STAFF CURATE OUR PROGRAMS AND ARRANGE FOR THEIR PUBLIC PRESENTATION. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION IS TO EXPAND PUBLIC APPRECIATION OF DIVERSE ART FORMS. SLFS IS RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY'S INTERESTS AND CONTINUALLY INNOVATES AND REACHES OUT. OUR 2012 MEXICAN AND CZECH FILM TOURS ARE JUST TWO EXAMPLES. SLFS ASSUMES ALL OF THE FINANCIAL RISK EVERY TIME IT BRINGS A FILM TO TOWN. WE HANDLE ALL OF THE MARKETING, BOX OFFICE AND VENUE MANAGEMENT FOR TWO FACILITIES. SLFS OFTEN PRESENTS NEW WORK INCLUDING THE WORK OF ITS SCREENWRITING AND DIRECTING STUDENTS AND OPEN SCREEN NIGHT FIRST TIME FILMMAKERS. SLFS PRODUCES MULTI MEDIA EVENTS WITH ITS SING WITH: GREAT MUSICALS SERIES AND WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER ARTISTS THAT INCLUDE ACTORS, SINGERS, VISUAL ARTISTS AND LOCAL AND NATIONAL FILMMAKERS AND DIRECTORS. TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL, SLFS ADHERES TO A STRICT STRATEGY OF PLANNING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO OUR SUCCESS SINCE THE SLFS TEAM IS SMALL AND EACH INDIVIDUAL IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR SUCCESS: FROM BOARD TO VOLUNTEERS TO PAID STAFF. SLFS MAINTAINS ETHICAL OPERATIONS AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ACCORDANCE AS A MEMBER OF THE UTAH NON-PROFITS ASSOCIATION. THREE-YEAR AND TEN-YEAR STRATEGIC PLANS ARE THOUGHTFULLY PLOTTED AND REVIEWED QUARTERLY ALONG WITH PROGRAM ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL HEALTH REVIEWS. SLFS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADVISORY BOARD ARE TASKED WITH ENSURING THAT SLFS STAYS ON TRACK TO MEET ITS GOALS. SLFS GOALS: 1.ZAP TIER 1 FUNDING - AFTER 11 YEARS OF PROVIDING PREDICTABLE EXEMPLARY COMMUNITY SERVICE IN THE ARTS, SLFS IS ASKING TO RECEIVE THE "ADEQUATE PREDICTABLE SUPPORT" OF TIER 1 FUNDING. SLFS IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED AND HIGHLY REGARDED ARTS ORGANIZATION IN SALT LAKE COUNTY ANNUALLY GENERATING ONE OF THE LARGEST ARTS AUDIENCES IN THE STATE. SLFS PROVIDES EXEMPLARY COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFERING 141 FREE OR DISCOUNTED OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS IN ADDITION TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING THAT SERVE AND ENRICH THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WITH A SOLID RECORD OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED QUALITY PROGRAMMING AND A HISTORY OF FISCAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CREDIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS, SLFS HAS AS ITS MAIN SHORT-TERM GOAL TO BE FUNDED ADEQUATELY WITH ITS PEERS AS A ZAP TIER 1 PRESENTING ORGANIZATION. 2.INDUSTRY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES -IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN REGULAR SEASON FILM PRESENTATIONS SLFS MUST UPGRADE TO A DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY FACILITY TO MEET CHANGING INDUSTRY STANDARDS. SLFS HAS A RIGID GAME PLAN IN PLACE TO LOOK AT A DIVERSE ROUTE TO SUCCEEDING IN THE FULL TRANSITION TO A DIGITAL FACILITY. STARTING THIS YEAR, SLFS MUST FIND SOLUTIONS TO UPGRADES ELSE RISK LOOSING ACCESS TO CONTENT. SIMPLY PUT, IF SLFS DOES NOT UPGRADE, SLFS CANNOT EXIST TO OFFER OUR MISSION SERVICES TO THOSE WHO HAVE COME TO RELY ON OUR PROGRAMS AND PRESENTATIONS. FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT WILL NEED TO COME FROM DIVERSE RESOURCES SUCH AS SUBSIDY, GRANTS, DONA
