A variety of funding strategies are available for getting Dr.Hal to present at your site;

Discuss Dr. Hal's program with your building principal. Often the principal delegates researching and selection of cultural programing to either a faculty or PTO/A committee. Find out who is on the committee and let them know your interest in the kind of content Dr. Hal's programs provide.

PTA's and PTO's typically provide the majority of funds that support these programs. Title 1 funds recently supported a full week residence w/expenses in Astoria, Oregon. Eagle, ID also received grant money to support a 5 day residence. Sponsoring a positive educational activity is a classy way for successful businesses to thank a community for their support. Dr. Hal will work with you to provide supporting information including recommendations and testimonials.

The cost is made up of Dr. Hal's fee plus expenses. Dr. Hal aims fees so that per child cost is not over $2. That is half the price of a movie theater ticket. Schools with small student populations that cannot meet these advertised fees should still contact Dr. Hal to discuss options (**see below).

Different schools have different needs but you can get an idea of program costs by looking below.

Number of Assemblies	ASSEMBLY TYPE	Fee
3	Assemblies for entire student body (3 different programs aimed at age/grade level e.g. K-2, 3-5, 6-8 or for larger schools k-1, 2-3, 4-5)	$800 plus *expenses
2	Assemblies for entire student body (2 different programs K-2, 3-5)	$650 plus *expenses
1	Assembly for K-2 or 3-5 or large individual grades.	$400 plus *expenses
1	Assembly for the entire student body	$500 plus *expenses
1	Assembly for most summer library programs	$350 - $275 **
1	Assembly for a single grade/classroom	$300/$200
*expenses see below.

If you are looking for special programing for individual classes or individual grades, or your total student population is under 200 call for fees that start at $200 plus expenses. Lower fees may also apply when a series of Dr. Hal's programs are desired for just a few classrooms as part of a high interest day.

Discuss your need for a keynote speaker, teacher inservice, workshops on instrument making and playing with Dr. Hal. He will try to give you a quote that is within your budget. Also learn the benefits of finding additional schools ** willing to program Dr. Hal while he is in your area.

Workshop and artist-in-residence fees are a sliding scale based on the number of days in your district plus expenses.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE fees

Scheduling guidelines for artist in residence:

Up to 4 classroom contact hours per day and a large enough window (8-10 minutes) between individual classes to regroup materials and jot down a few notes. 45 minutes for lunch. Discuss the possibility of scheduling additional hours after school.

*Negotiated

Dr. Hal presents a number of programs each year for a variety of charitable, religious and service organizations whose resources cannot afford the fees suggested above. Often those experiences lead to other program opportunities. Honorariums are negotiated, when appropriate, on a case by case basis. Don't hesitate to get in touch with Dr. Hal if you believe your organization fits this category.

Funding Dr. Hal's programs need not be a scary process.
