Overview
Mission
Breitling Performing Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to inspiring and shaping the character of youth, particularly underserved children, through inclusive performing arts education and youth performances. We believe every child deserves a role, a voice, and a place where they belong.
What it reported doing in 2025
We provide instruction in acting, painting, music, and musical theater dance to approximately 300 children each year. We awarded more than $7,500 in scholarships to help ensure financial barriers did not prevent children from participating. Acting classes and lessons were offered six days a week. Throughout the year, our students performed more than 40 daytime musical performances for school field trips, with over 14,000 students attending to see children ages 3-18 perform live on stage. We also presented 15 evening and weekend performances that were open to the public and featured our young performers. To make the arts more accessible, we provided more than 1,000 free tickets annually to students and teachers from Title I schools. In addition, we presented two music recitals and two art shows, giving students opportunities to showcase their talents in a variety of artistic disciplines.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 93% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
