Overview

Mission

Community service through the arts

What it reported doing in 2009

Showcase theatrical services to the community to instill a greater awareness of black theatre; increase the visibility of and attention to participants in black theatre; cultivate new audiences. The Coaltion accomplishes these goals by performing stage productions in conjunction with other theatre organizations. Each organization shares in the theatrical and administrative duties and responsbilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
