Finally, once the abbreviated phase has been completed, we will activate a "last-ditch" version of the survey that will include only four questions (total revenues, total expenditures, total attendance, and total volunteers/volunteer hours) in a final effort to include all eligible organizations in the study analysis. Based on testing, this final version of the survey will take no more than 2 minutes to complete. Once all data collection from eligible organizations is complete, Americans for the Arts will provide the City of Santa Ana with a status report that identifies the total operating budget and total attendance for each participating organization, the City of Santa Ana will review this status report and follow up with any participating organizations for which the numbers need to be confirmed. It is important to note that economic impact is based on the number of dollars spent in your community, and we want to capture as many of those dollars as possible. Each eligible organization located in the City of Santa Ana is important. We understand, however, that the full cooperation of your arts community may be unrealistic. It is likely that some of the eligible organizations in the City of Santa Ana will decline to participate in the Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 Organizational Survey. We neither anticipate nor expect a 100 percent response rate, For the purposes of the AEP6 study, an adequate participation rate can be characterized as having collected the required information from all of the large and mid -sized organizations on your list of eligible organizations (based on operating budget and/or total attendance), and as many of the smaller organizations as possible. REQUIREMENT: Upon completion of the entire web -based effort described above, it will be the responsibility of the City of Santa Ana to provide the information requested by the "last-ditch" version of the survey (Le„ total revenues, total expenditures, total attendance, and total voluntecrslvolunteer hours) for any major and mid -sized organizations that declined to participate in the survey process. Alternatively, this information may be available through a publicly -available secondary data source (e.g., , IRS Form 990s from GuideStar/Candid, or similar public database). We estimate that the City of Santa Ana will spend approximately 5 minutes per eligible organization. That estimate includes compiling and cleaning the list of eligible organizations located in the City of Santa Ana as well as following up with the organizations that decline to participate in the web - based survey. As an example, if there are 100 eligible organizations in the City of Santa Ana, we estimate that the City of Santa Ana's staff and volunteers will spend a combined total of approximately 8 hours on this task throughout calendar year 2022. This work will take place during September 2022 to February 2023, To request a web -based contract via DocuSign, contact Ben Davidson (bdavidson@ ttsusa org), - Alternatively, you may print/complete this document, scan/save it, and return it via email for approval. 7
