Overview
Mission
We are a non-profit theatre company that aims to show young adults and children with developmental disabilities that they will never be held down. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to young adults with developmental disabilities to express themselves and grow through theatre. The foundation of our company stems deeper than just a production; we strive to develop self-confidence, expression, and essential life skills in each of our students. We care about our students and unite them with typically developing peers to create a safe learning environment. Our focus is on creating progress, growth, and friendships.
What it reported doing in 2024
Anchorless Production aims to help kids and young adults with developmental disabilities grow their confidence and explore new opportunities, while supporting other causes that share this mission. In the 2025 fiscal year, we proudly put on SpongeBob the Musical in the fall and Tangled in the spring. We also offered weekly Saturday drama classes throughout the year and hosted a fundraiser in March 2025.
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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
