At Resonance Improv Alliance, we believe that transparency builds trust, and trust builds community. As a CORE Cause fiscally sponsored by the CORE Foundation, we are committed to direct, honest stewardship of every dollar invested in our mission.
Below is a snapshot of our impact and financial overview for Calendar Year 2025.
2025 Impact Highlights
In our inaugural year, Resonance Improv successfully transitioned from a vision into a high-impact community project across Northern Virginia.
- 120 Movement & Memory Experiences: Partnered with the Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center (IPMDC) and Insight Memory Care Center to facilitate 20 free workshops for individuals managing Parkinson’s or dementia and their care partners.
- Alleviating Isolation: Delivered social club workshops for approximately 100 guests experiencing homelessness at the Lamb Center day shelter in Fairfax, VA.
- Supporting Local Artists: Created performance opportunities for 81 unique, independent improvisers across 8 produced public shows.
- Empowering Youth: Led high school improv workshops for over 90 drama students to boost confidence and comedic skills.
- Community-Driven Fundraising: Partnered with Friends of Southgate in Reston, VA to raise over $1,200 for the Southgate Community Center.

Fueled 100% by Volunteer Dedication: In 2025, Resonance Improv invested $0.00 into staff or facilitator compensation. Our operations are powered entirely by our community. Program officers, performers, and logistics volunteers contributed an estimated 2,500+ hours of donated talent and labor—the equivalent of more than one full-time staff member.
Our Surplus Strategy: Our inaugural net surplus is intentionally earmarked as seed funding to build a sustainable baseline for growth. These funds may be allocated to continued event production, training, robust safety infrastructure (including volunteer background checks), and scaling our applied improv programs.
Support Our Next Chapter
Our theme for the coming year is developing a foundation for sustainable growth. Help us scale our workshops to more communities of need while keeping our programs 100% free for participants. We are working to establish organizational partnerships to ensure that patients, students, and individuals facing homelessness never pay a dime to access the power of applied improv.
