Overview
Mission
To encourage and support the spirit of cultural excellence with a special emphasis on broad range of classical, traditional, and neo-classical Indian musical performances and dance concerts and workshops. The evolution of Indian music over thousands of years has engendered a rich variety of schools known as gharanas, each with its own unique approach to the musical idiom. Unfortunately, many of these gharanas are in danger of extinction, which will amount to an irreparable loss to human culture. Ashavari proposes to address this imbalance by working towads the promotion of Indian classical music, for the benefit of humanity, and especially, the younger generation.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
