Transparency, Please!

@fulcrumarts - We have questions about the Watts House project that was started in 2008. They raised $700,000 according to the L.A. Times article in April 2012 and I know the $700,000 is split between the whole neighborhood and all the houses that were participating. Alexandra Grant was the artist assigned to the house on 107th street that she dubbed the Love House. Fulcrum Arts is still soliciting donations to complete the project 11 years later. Alexandra Grant claimed that she has raised $60,000 from the sale of her jewelry for this project and she also received $25,000 from the California Community Fund. When Fulcrum Arts took over the Watts Love house a few years ago, how much money was turned over to your organization?

@calfund - how do you feel about the Love house project? $25,000 donated and no result yet, 11 years later? A success, a failure or a learning experience?

Multiple people have called Fulcrum to follow-up but only received voice mail.
