the partners that support the work of In progress

In Progress is honored to have the support of individuals, communities, foundations and government agencies.  Without their support we would not be able to do this work.  We can see ourselves making progress in building a firm foundation for the programs we are deeply committed to.  We continue to seek to deepen our relationship with existing funders, while identifying new relationships with those that share in our vision of community, the arts and young voices.  Needless to say - we are very grateful to everyone that supports the work we do. and we thank everyone that has stuck by In Progress and continues to support the important work happening with new and emerging artists!
