Overview
Mission
Boise Gay Men's Chorus, Inc. is a non-profit organization that includes the Boise Gay Men's Chorus and the Boise Women's Chorus. They are both volunteer singing groups with the mission statement "Opening Hearts and Minds Through Music." This mission focuses on bringing greater awareness of LGBTQ+ and Women's issues to the Boise public and to increase support of them.
What it reported doing in 2024
BGMC, Inc. operates in person choral rehearsals 10 months of the year on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Contracted artistic directors and a collaborative pianist lead the rehearsals that are open to all singing membership and the community. Rehearsals are usually focused on main concert music preparations, but often include vocal technique, relationship building, and musical education experiences. The singing membership averages between 75 to 125 attendees weekly, varying each concert cycle.
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
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 and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
