Lou welcomed everyone to the new Tempur Sealy headquarters and talked about their recent merger and the importance of building a culture to support engagement with their customers, vendors, employees, business partners and the community and how the new building reflected those values. Overview - Gregory Jenkins, President of the Board then spoke about his long-time involvement with LexPhil and how his second time as President was very different than his first time as President many years ago. He talked about how LexPhil has evolved to meet the needs of the community and has built on the foundation laid over the first 50 years. He discussed the management goals of the collective bargaining negotiations and expressed that change is difficult especially for an institution that is over 50 years old, but necessary to have a viable future. Approval of FY2013-2014 Budget - Mr. Jenkins explained that as a bit of housekeeping, only FY2013 Board Members would vote on the FY2014 Budget. Mr. Jenkins asked for a motion to approve the 5
FY2014 Budget as presented and recommended by the Finance Committee. Barry Hickey made the motion that the FY2014 budget be approved. Scott King seconded the motion. The budget was unanimously approved. The business of the Board of Directors was concluded and attention was then directed to the business of the Annual Meeting of the Members. Approval of 2011-2012 Annual Meeting Minutes Mr. Jenkins requested a motion to approve the 2011-2012 Annual Meeting Minutes. Matthew Stinnett made the motion to approve and Mike Morrill seconded the motion. Executive Director Report - Allison Kaiser discussed the many accomplishments of the organization over the last year, upgrades to certain administrative functions and the challenges facing the organization in the upcoming season. Ms. Kaiser introduced the new Turn the Page campaign to identify $200,000 in new financial resources for LexPhil and explained that the campaign would take place in two phases. The first phase would be internal and required Board members to give or raise $2000 each toward a goal of $100,000. The first $100,000 was needed to reach the 13-14 annual budget goals and the second $100,000 will be used to reduce the accumulated operating deficit. It was announced that Dr. Saykaly was issuing a $10,000 challenge to the Board to raise the first $100,000. Ms. Kaiser then talked about the dedication of the staff and thanked them for their tireless work on behalf of the organization. Sharon Reed was recognized as Volunteer of the Year for her 10.5 years of dedicated service to the Lexington Philharmonic as Chair of the Lexington Philharmonic Foundation. Kaiser explained that Mrs. Reed raised more money during her tenure as Chair, than the Foundation had raised in the several decades preceding her tenure. Under her leadership, the Foundation almost quadrupled in size from approximately $600,000 to almost $2.4 million Lexington Philharmonic Foundation Report Sharon Reed then presented a report on the Lexington Philharmonic Foundation and introduced Larry Deener as the new Chair of the 6
Foundation. Mr. Deener then presented Sharon Reed with special recognition on behalf of the Lexington Philharmonic Foundation. Music Director and Conductor Report - Music Director and Conductor, Scott Terrell, spoke about the vision for the future of the Lexington Philharmonic and shared goals we needed to pursue to move the orchestra forward. He stated that the quality of our work can not only be measured by the number of concerts, or the number of people on stage, rather the value created for the community we engage in every endeavor. He expressed how important it is that we create a culture of curiosity, lifelong achievement and growth as artists and that we celebrate the musician’s pursuit of quality, and that quality is based on their dedication, integrity, excellence, discipline, and the attitude they bring to making the LexPhil a better institution.

Overview and Executive Director Message
“I believe art is a language, as whole and rule-bound as any language, and I believe it is every human’s first language. Every other one is a second language. The need to communicate, to tell, to show, and thus connect, is a universal human need, and the language of art in all its forms is a universal language. Even though each of us sees differently, artistic expression in all of its forms, and human response in all of its forms, is the critical and continual background conversation that holds us together in a culture. If we relied much more on the universal language of art rather than the regional languages of politics, we would have a better chance at finding our common humanity, albeit in innumerable expressions. All art is personal. All art is political. All art is human.� Paul T. Hogan, Executive Vice President of the John R. Oishei Foundation, for the keynote speech for the Buffalo Society of Artists Annual Meeting, November 6, 2013. LexPhil has many reasons to celebrate as we continue to progress through the changing landscape of how art and culture is engaged and enjoyed in our community and beyond. We have made great progress in developing a reputation for innovative and educational programming. We have accomplished funding and recognition on a national level. We collaborate with more arts and non-arts organizations than any other arts organization in our region. These are areas of key importance to the collective psyche of our community and the funders who steward their support. LexPhil must continue to evolve in response to preferences and needs of our community and must be a leader in illuminating a path that emphasizes the core values of artistic excellence, innovation, collaboration and accessibility. These are the values that are important to our community as a whole. As we are successful leading in these areas, which sometimes challenges the role a traditional orchestral organization has played in the past, appropriate support will follow. These are undoubtedly challenging times we are living in and the challenges do not appear to be abating any time soon. As we become more united in our agreement that change is necessary, we will move 9
forward and ensure a vibrant future for the organization that so many have built over the past 50+ years. There is no area in our lives that change does not impact. Energy put toward understanding why change is needed and how the right changes can make us stronger and more meaningful will be the most important investment we can make for the future of LexPhil. I have no doubt that live orchestral music has great value for our community and our future. Proof of LexPhil’s value lies in the following: A vibrant Lexington Philharmonic plays a key role in the region’s culture and economy • Building a culture of curiosity for music and the arts in the region • Building community through partnership and collaboration, the communal experience of live orchestral music events, and relationships between different sectors of the community. • LexPhil engages over 60 local institutional and business partners each year, providing a bridge between different spheres of influence. • LexPhil partners with over 50 area nonprofits, educational and arts organizations per year, sharing professional expertise and resources and elevating the level of artistic expression through engagement and instruction. • LexPhil has worked with approximately 400 individual musicians and artists over the past 2 years, through collaboration with area arts & cultural groups including: • LexArts • EKU Center for the Performing Arts • The Chamber Music Festival of Lexington • The Lexington Chamber Chorale • The Lexington Singers • Kentucky Bach Choir • Project SEE Theatre • Local high school choruses • Area University and College Choruses • Significantly increasing access to music education. Learning through the arts has significant effects on learning in other disciplines. Students con10
sistently involved in music and theater show higher levels of success in mathematics and reading. (www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/12/31/ arts-education-music-faust-marsalis-column/4267705/) • LexPhil’s educational and life-long learning programs include: • Inside the Score pre-concert talks • MUSIC BUILDS platform (school based) • In-school music education through ensemble performances, teaching musicians and curriculum guides • Student Rehearsals • Conductor in the Classroom • Discovery Concerts • Instrument Petting Zoos • Youth engagement programs (non-school based) • Saykaly Garbulinska Composer-in-Residence bi-annual new music commissioning program • New Music Experiment for student composers • Peanut Butter &Jelly concerts • Enhancing the market appeal of central Kentucky, encouraging business relocation and generation of new jobs. • Workers with arts-related skills are critical to the industries of the new economy. • Studies show creativity, problem solving, collaboration and non-verbal communication are all higher among those with regular exposure to the arts (www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ answer-sheet/wp/2013/01/22/top-10-skills-children-learn-from the-arts/) • A KPMG survey of more than 1,200 high-tech workers examined the most important factors associated with taking a new job. “Community quality-of-life” was the second most important factor—after salary—and more important than benefits, stock options, or company stability. The Lexington Philharmonic is Central Kentucky’s most impactful performing arts institution • Only professional orchestra in the region, with a 50+ year history. • Largest professional music organization in central Kentucky, with 75 11
employees and an annual budget of approximately $1.2 million, the majority of which is spent in central Kentucky. • Critically acclaimed through local media and recognized by national grant funders. • Leading edge arts organization and active agent of innovation, demonstrated by: • The Dupree Initiative for Innovation in concert programming and presentation which provides concert experiences spanning all genres of orchestral music and incorporating multiple art forms, mediums and venues. • Saykaly Garbulinska Composer-in-Residence for new music commissions. • 25% of concert repertoire is new or American composed music over the past three years. • More major donors than any other performing arts organization – (Lexington Philharmonic Foundation, Dupree Initiative, Lucille Little Foundation, Saykaly Garbulinska Foundation). • Audience reach of 500,000 individuals per year through live concerts and broadcasts. • Reach over 10,000 Kentucky school children in 17 counties and 35 schools each year through educational programming. • Saykaly Garbulinska Composer-in-Residence program attracts national attention and funding. • Music Director engagements with other renowned orchestras attracts attention and respect. • Greater economic impact than any performing arts institution in the region. • Attendees at nonprofit arts events spend an average of $22.87 per person, not including the price of admission, e.g. on restaurants, parking, hotels, etc. • Healthy risk-taking to build a stronger organization resulting in: • Ticket sales growth of 21% over three years. • Reduced structural deficit over last two years.
The Lexington Philharmonic represents Lexington far beyond the region • Composer-in-Residence program attracts leading new composers nationwide who then invest in educational engagement, premiere new work and become ambassadors for Lexington • Engaged over 100 critically acclaimed guest artists in the past 5 years • Won nationally competitive grants from the NEA and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music for two consecutive years based on artistic excellence and new music presentation. • Music Director & Conductor is regularly invited to guest conduct and cover at larger orchestras around the country. • Nationally competitive auditions attract musicians from more than 25 states to audition for openings in LexPhil, due to its reputation for dynamic programming and artistic standards.

2013 - 2014
Music Director’s Report – As I look back over the successes and challenges of the 2013-14 season, I take great pride in the accomplishments of our board, staff and musicians. When we focused our energies on the work of inspired and excellent music making, we produced memorable results. Since I began in 2009, the transformation of the institution has been truly remarkable. We are a more flexible, artistically excellent, and inspired orchestra - and the community has responded. And while I would like to take time and remember all those achievements, I think that all of us must focus our energies on what lies ahead. What I see as the greatest challenge still facing our organization is this: acknowledgment of a changing arts landscape and community needs, and all internal constituencies’ ability to recognize, adapt, and evolve to meet these changes. We hold strong to our values of artistic excellence, innovation, collaboration and accessibility - and those must guide us as we move into continued challenging times, but also a time of extraordinary evolution.
What is important to this community and region? How can we be of service to it? How can we lead, listen, and respond better?
As a 21st century American orchestral institution, we must be sensitive to identifying the lay of the cultural landscape, molding through our concerts, presentations, and community engagement programs an artistic leadership role. Orchestral music is a living, breathing art form with connections to our past, that speak to our minds and hearts, and is a conduit to future creation. We have the rare and exciting opportunity to shape and steer the musical experiences of audiences, creating a palpable excitement for live performance. It must be an environment where listeners are moved, compelled, educated, and entertained. Also, we must be willing to meet our audiences on their terms, schedules, and through their interests. Here a just a few of our efforts toward these goals going forward: Building the orchestra of the 21st century • Expanded outreach through education and community events • Formation of the Artistic Visioning Committee
• New players identified through the national audition process • Diversity of repertoire, to train and develop excellence in all genres
Engaging the community in new venues and performance times: • Opera House Series • Saturday night concerts added to the performance schedule • New Year’s Eve Moulin Rouge program New Concert Formats, Composers and Programs to reach a broader public: • Multimedia presentation of Phillip Glass’ Icarus At The Edge Of Time • Semi staged production of Argentinian composer Golijov’s Ainadamar Expanding New Collaborative Efforts: • Massive combined collegiate chorus for Carmina Burana • Literary figure, Frank X. Walker as narrator for Icarus • Professional opera partner, Kentucky Opera for Ainadamar Indentifying great artists that shape the world’s music: • Inon Barnatan, pianist and UK Healthcare Artist-in-Residence • Alexandre di Costa, Violin • Numerous MET opera winners, and world renowned vocalists • Ute Lemper, renowned chanteuse for the New Year’s Eve concert Performing works of the 21st Century: • Phillip Glass: Icarus At The Edge Of Time • Tan Dun: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon • Osvaldo Golijov: Ainadamar • Michael Gandolfi: Garden Of Cosmic Speculation I think the greatest achievement over the last year is our evolution, which is allowing us to present such an exciting future. We should all be very proud of the work we have done, and realize our potential is limitless in the years ahead.
2013 - 2014
Education & Operations Annual Report Highlights: • Composer-in-Residence, Adam Schoenberg came in September and April to share his music with us including a world premiere of his piece, Canto! • LexPhil at the Library – new partnership started in summer of 2013 with three events and expanded into nine events for the summer of 2014. • Brought Discovery to EKU Center for the Arts for the first time. Will continue this in 2014-2015. • Expanded EKP partnership from one school to four schools in Morgan County. This program will continue into Morgan County in 2014-15. • Expanded outreach opportunities with organizations like Give into the Groove, schools and many new community/education partners. • Many collaborators including first time Kentucky Bach Choir, Magic Circle Mime, several new soloists. • Continued expanded PB & J Series concerts in outside counties • LexPhil signed the Integrated Media Agreement which provides additional opportunity to use media in advertising/website, etc… • LexPhil held more than 130 events in the 2013-14 Season and we are still counting! Looking Ahead: • Music Builds is expanding into 2 new Title 1 elementary schools (total of 4) including one in Scott County • Expansion of LexPhil presence at the Lexington Opera House with 2 season series concerts and a New Year’s Eve program! • Music Builds STEAM platform is full steam ahead with new modules for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. New modules are being built, expanding the appeal and effectiveness of our programs. • New partners for the 2014-15 Season include Kentucky Opera, UK Opera and 2013-2014 Kentucky poet laureate, Frank X Walker.
Challenges: • Continued labor negotiations place a great demand on time and attention. Though a short term agreement was reached beginning in November 2013, through June 30, 2014, negotiations began again in the spring in efforts to reach a long term contract. • Have not been able to consistently staff Education and Library over the last 3 years, which has made sustained growth of education programs challenging. While we have expanded education programs, we need consistent staff support to fully implement the potential of the new Music Builds platform. The new Operations & Education Associate, Jason Spencer, will begin July 1, 2014, and we look forward to his contribution to this area.
*Scheduling continues to be a large challenge for LexPhil at both of its primary venues, Singletary Center for the Arts and the Lexington Opera House due to their internal priorities.
2013 - 2014
Marketing Annual Report - The Marketing Department of the Lexington Philharmonic has had a boisterous and impactful 2013-2014 season. Beginning in October with the hiring of Marketing & Communications Assistant, Mollie Harris, the department took a step forward in its ability to take on thoughtful and adventurous marketing endeavors. The successes and challenges of the 2012-2013 season influenced the reimagining of communications and marketing strategies. The 2013-2014 season saw imaginative community promotional partnerships, billboard advertising, diversified press coverage, and a newly redesigned website. Planning is currently in process for the 2014-2015 season building on the successes and challenges of the 2013-2014 season. (It’s easily the best plan yet!)
New Communications and Advertising Communications diversified and grew beyond traditional press and social media channels during 2013-2014. LexPhil greatly increased its social media presence – growing its Facebook fans to 2390 from 1745. Twitter followers tripled during the season to 850 followers. As tested in select concerts during 2012-2013, the Marketing Department piloted a tweet seat program sponsored by web development company, Trifecta! Ky. The Trifecta! Tweet Seats were organized under the hashtag #lexphillive allowing users to streamline the conversation and make the live-tweets easily searchable. The Trifecta! Tweet Seats program was filled by members of local media outlets, businesses, and local music students. The program will continue next season and is currently being offered as a partnership opportunity to other businesses. The growth in LexPhil’s Facebook followers was driven by building more LexPhil original content – photos, videos, behind-the-scenes information, and ticket giveaways. New Media Activity LexPhil was featured in many news outlets in Central Kentucky during the 2013-2014 season. Many positive reviews including “Giovanni Sollima and that killer Philharmonic encore” (4/17/14) and “Review: Lexington Philharmonic gives fine showcase for Chaplin’s genius in Gold Rush” (3/15/14) from the Lexington Herald-Leader. The Herald’s ‘Snapped’ feature covered February’s Love in a photo section of Kentucky.com and the Revolution post-concert reception was covered in Skirt! Magazine.
Donor Tom Dupree wrote a thoughtful Op Ed on the importance of innovation to LexPhil’s future. LexPhil made many TV appearances on LEX18, ABC36, and WKYT, as well as many radio interviews on WEKU, Real Life Radio, and WRFL. New Advertising and Ticket Sales Impact The LexPhil marketing mix was reimagined in the 2013-2014 season through new advertising and community initiatives. New community initiatives were piloted during the Love and Gold Rush concerts ranging from the Gold Rush specialty latte at Third Street Stuff Coffee to a recorded radio broadcast series with WEKU, Listen Local, at Joseph Beth. These cross-promotional opportunities grew the reach of LexPhil’s limited marketing budget. These types of events will be combined into more focused outreach initiatives for the 2014-2015 season, while trying to pace the activity to use staff time in the most productive manner and avoid overexposure to certain markets. New and revamped forms of advertising were tested in billboard ads and direct mail postcards. Many new ticket buyers cited billboards as the most

visible way they learned about our concerts. Billboard advertising began with February’s Love concert and continued with each concert thereafter. Billboards are planned through summer for subscription promotion and will remain a part of the marketing mix next season. Direct mail postcards were utilized for ticket buyers for the past three years for concerts and for donors and sponsors for post-concert receptions. Lifestyle lists have been purchased for 2014-2015 focusing on young (age 25-45), educated (college graduate), and high income ($100K+) individuals in Fayette, Scott, and Woodford counties. 2013-2014 Subscription figures break down as: Season Series – 436/ $120,000, Pick 6 Series – 101/ $27,400, Pick 4 – 348/ $54,000, with a total of 885 subscriptions. LexPhil missed its subscriber goal by $22,000 in the 2013-2014 season. This compares to a total of 932 subscriptions for the 2012-2013 season. While subscription sales lagged during the 13-14 season, four concerts met or exceeded single ticket goals –Messiah, Love, Gold Rush and Beethoven 9. Beethoven 9 exceeded goal by over $10,000. Each of these high ticket sale concerts were in the second half of the season. Various factors contributed to lower ticket sales for the first half of the season, including sports activities and contentious labor negotiations. Single ticket sales for the 2013-2014 season ended at $91,000 - just $9,000 short of the $100,000 single ticket goal. Challenges for the 2014-2015 Season Single ticket sales will replace subscriptions more and more, as we saw this season. LexPhil is beginning to see erosion of its long-time subscriber base. Like LexPhil, orchestras across the nation are facing this challenge. Those who have innovated their programming are beginning to see their ticket sales improve. Many individuals have reached an age that makes it difficult for them to attend concerts or they are spending longer periods of time outside of Lexington at winter homes. While we have brought in a tremendous number of new subscribers and still have 21% more subscribers than we did in 2010. We recognize that we must continue to evolve and innovate within the context of the orchestral genre to capture the ever-changing attention of the public.
We are very excited about moving three concerts to the Lexington Opera House (LOH) and introducing Saturday night concerts. The amenities and extended experience options through dining and post-concert gatherings that this will provide by being downtown will enhance the concert-going experience in ways that we are eager to test and track. This move will provide great momentum to our development of new audiences and allow us to engage them in ways we cannot at the Singletary Center. While we can see the potential that this move provides, the challenge comes in getting new audience members to try their first, then their second, and ultimately, many LexPhil concerts. LexPhil is stepping up its game with the concert programs and formats at the LOH and will be testing new marketing and promotion avenues to make these concerts a success. Additionally, we will be moving to a new ticketing and donor data system next year that will allow us greater customization of communication, promotions, record-keeping, reporting and analysis.
2013 - 2014
Advancement Annual Report - LexPhil’s FY 2014 unearned income goal (excluding contributions from the LexPhil Foundation and the LexPhil Guild) was $670,000. As of June 27, 2014, LexPhil has raised a total of $670,750 through individual, corporate, government and foundation support (does not include annual LexPhil Foundation allocation). LexPhil reached 96% of its Development goal in the environment of a protracted post-recession economic climate and negotiations with the musician’s union. This is a notable achievement, demonstrating that LexPhil’s emphasis on education, outreach and innovative artistic programming is resonating with individual and corporate donors. LexPhil also has had continued success obtaining grants from government agencies and non-corporate foundations based on this programming. In FY 2014, LexPhil’s advancement strategy focused, primarily, on identifying new sources of individual and corporate support. LexPhil succeeded in raising a significant amount of new funds in both areas. The philanthropic arena continues to have its challenges and it is incumbent on LexPhil to continue to prove its value in the areas that matter to our community, such as education and collaboration. Despite the ongoing challenges, achieving 96% of goal is an important accomplishment for the organization. While the orchestral industry struggles to hold its ground across the nation, LexPhil, with appropriate evolution, remains relevant and valuable to this community. Individual Giving In FY 2014, LexPhil received a total of $295,000 in individual donations, including the major gifts from the DuPree Initiative and the Saykaly Garbulinska Composer-in-Residence program. Over one-third (1/3) of this support, $93,856, is comprised of donations from new donors and increased donations from current donors as compared to FY 2013. This demonstrates that LexPhil’s donor base is evolving. This is important because many of LexPhil’s long-standing supporters are unable to participate and donate at the same level as they have in the past. LexPhil specifically targeted new funds by launching the Turn the Page campaign at the beginning of FY 2014. This was an internal campaign
in which LexPhil asked its Board members to “give or get” an additional $2,000 above and beyond their FY 2013 donation level. Board member, Dr. Ronald Saykaly, issued a $10,000 matching challenge at the beginning of the year to encourage participation in the Turn the Page campaign. Similarly, an anonymous donor issued a $10,000 matching challenge in June 2014 to energize LexPhil’s year-end giving. LexPhil conducted its Annual Fund campaign throughout the season utilizing traditional vehicles such as mailings, Board phone-a-thons and donor incentives and receptions. LexPhil also launched significant efforts through social media and participation in the Bluegrass Community Foundation’s (BGCF) Good Giving Challenge. LexPhil raised over $16,000 through this social media-driven campaign and an additional $15,000 was donated to the LexPhil Foundation’s endowed account at BGCF. Major Gifts Innovation, education and outreach are driving major gifts to the organization, as well. LexPhil received $100,000 for the Dupree Initiative for Innovation in FY 2014. This is LexPhil’s third consecutive year receiving a major gift from Tom & Anne Dupree. Mr. Dupree has pledged an additional $150,000 for FY 2015. This is the largest individual gift to LexPhil’s annual fund in the orchestra’s history. Mr. Dupree attributes his support to the innovation shown in LexPhil’s artistic programming and outreach activities, and the impact that it has on the community. Similarly, Dr. Ronald Saykaly donated $20,000 in FY14 for the Turn the Page campaign and LexPhil’s FY 2014 Composer-in-Residence program. He has pledged $20,000 for LexPhil’s FY 2015 Artist-in-Residence, which will be directed toward the production of Ainadamar in April 2016. Corporate Support LexPhil raised $130,462 through corporate partnerships in FY 2014, a 17% increase over what was raised in FY 2013. One-quarter (1/4) of this support ($32,362) is comprised of new corporate partnerships and/ or increased partnership support as compared to FY 2013. These new/ increased corporate partnerships are a result of the alignment of LexPhil’s programming with the values and community engagement goals of its
corporate partners, as well as the Turn the Page campaign. For example, Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives (East Kentucky Power Cooperative) increased its support by more than $6,000 to expand the education outreach work LexPhil is doing in rural eastern Kentucky communities. Hilliard Lyons increased its support by $4,000 for the opening-night concert featuring American Symphony by Adam Schoenberg, and LexPhil received $6,500 in new corporate partnerships for its April concert featuring the world premiere of Schoenberg’s Canto. LexPhil also established its first multi-year partnership with Tempur Sealy International, Inc., for a total of $18,000 over 3 years, for the educational “Inside the Score” pre-concert talks. Grants Over the last five years, LexPhil has regained and surpassed its pre-recession grant funding level as a result of its programming impacts related to innovation, education and outreach. LexPhil received $229,576 in grants from governmental and non-corporate foundations in FY 2014. LexPhil has been fortunate that LexArts has maintained funding at a level of $165,000 over the last several years and has recommended an increase to $170,000 for FY 2015. LexPhil received nearly $40,000 from the Kentucky Arts Council in FY 2014, but anticipates a significant reduction in its KAC grant for FY 2015 due to state budget cuts. Grants this year also include a combined total of $21,500 in funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music. This is the second consecutive year LexPhil has successfully achieved grants for its contemporary music programming on these nationally-competitive platforms. For FY 2014, the Lexington Philharmonic Foundation (LPF) provided an allocation of 6% (of three-year averaging of its value) for a total of approximately $119,000. The increased allocation from the LPF has been of tremendous benefit to the Lexington Philharmonic, providing a solid financial base for its education programming.
Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra Foundation The Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra Foundation, Inc. continues its support of the mission and programs of the Lexington Philharmonic Society, Inc. During the 2013-2014 program year, the Foundation provided over $119,000 in support to the LexPhil Society. The Foundation has approved an allocation of $120,000 for the LexPhil Society’s 2014-2015 program year. The Foundation is very pleased and grateful to the Foundation contributors through the years whose support has made these allocations possible. Guild – please see Guild Report, submitted by the Guild, following this section Challenges going forward Moving forward, LexPhil faces the challenge of an increasing number of performing arts organizations and non-profits competing for a limited pool of economic resources. It also must work to cultivate single ticket buyers to care more deeply about the work LexPhil does in the community and provide philanthropic support. LexPhil is adapting to the proliferation of fundraising campaigns and use of social media as a prevalent development tool. LexPhil must embrace social media as a low-cost, fast-paced method of reaching new and existing donors in an increasingly high-tech society. At the same time, it must be wary of “donor fatigue” among individuals that are bombarded with fundraising emails and social media posts from numerous organizations on a daily basis. This will require LexPhil to balance its use of social media with traditional development tools and identify the social media platforms that prove most effective in achieving its development goals. Finally, a challenge facing LexPhil, and many arts organizations, is a lack of long-term major gift commitments. LexPhil must work to cultivate major gifts from individuals committed to the mission of the organization and capable of investing in its long-term success.
