Overview

Mission

Promotion of the Arts through intellectural engagement for person and community enrichment and outreach to government, private and non-profit organziation.

What it reported doing in 2016

Hosted a muletown music fest on the public square of Columbia, TN to promote awareness of music and its impact in our lives. Net proceeds from the event were contributed to the United Way of Columbia, Tennessee.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
