Case Study: AT&T Performing Arts Center streamlines grant management and boosts applications with SurveyMonkey Apply

How the AT&T Performing Arts Center uses SurveyMonkey Apply to distribute grants to inspiring local artists

The AT&T Performing Arts Center, which supports actors, musicians, dancers, designers and other creatives in Dallas through programs like the Moody Fund and the Elevator Project, was overwhelmed by a paper-based grant process. Applications arrived by email, mail and handwritten notes, forcing staff to decipher submissions and manually compile applicant data in Excel—an inefficient, time-consuming workflow.

Switching to SurveyMonkey Apply centralized the application process, making submissions, uploads and reviews easy to access and route. The platform streamlined administration, reduced manual work, increased organization and program reach, and generated more applications than the previous year—freeing staff to focus on supporting artists and the community impact of live performance.
