Overview
Mission
Today, the mission of Annie B. Jones Civic Arts Center (ABJ) is to help youth and young adults to become change agents in their own community by offering a range of impactful, arts-based leadership development and empowerment activities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Universal Family Connection Program is a dynamic hands-in preventing violent among teens that helps them discover their inner beauty talent, and strength. This violent prevention program teaches vocal and instrumental music, acting, spoken word, and performance to youth.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
