Overview

Mission

Community Services and Education

What it reported doing in 2021

Investment was made for a dedicated phone as communication for a small non-profit is important. Additionally, the device choice as a versatile smart phone was selected as features above parent contact include but are not limited to the ability to access emails, take payment at the box office, blue tooth broadcast production music, record videos during rehearsal for director review/commentary between practices, and post on social media, etc. This will have the greatest impact to the camper and performers during the production as well as the ease to communicate with the organization.

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.
