With support from the California Arts Council, Museum of Children’s Art will hire nonprofit financial consultant, Margaret Southerland of Padma Consulting, to provide financial training to the Board of Directors, focusing on fiduciary responsibility; nonprofit accounting; financial management and reporting, financial systems, policies and procedures; and organizational financial sustainability so they can provide appropriate financial oversight.
MOCHA annually serves 30,000 Bay Area children, youth and their families, in three core program areas: School Programs, through which professional teaching artists lead sequential art lessons in classrooms and after school programs and provide professional development to teachers; Museum Programs, which include exhibits, open studios, field trips, art parties, art camps and family workshops in our downtown Oakland museum; and Community Programs, through which we bring interactive art making and family programming to libraries, recreation centers, festivals and other public venues.
