Overview
Mission
We are a non-profit performing arts organization performing symphony concerts for the community at an affordable price.
What it reported doing in 2024
The last portion of the season held our two final concerts of the season. A Chamber Music Concert in April 2025 and our Season Finale in May 2025. These expenses are for April 1 2025 - June 30 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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.
