Overview
Mission
To stimulate, promote and develop interest in the improvisational arts, to educate the american public in the improvisational arts, to advance the national culture in the field of improvisational arts, and to bring the improvisational arts to areas and population centers that are not adequately served in this respect. We will accomplish these goals by producing improvisational arts as a community repertory theatre.
What it reported doing in 2020
Comedysportz improv camp for kids and teens is an incredible week-long, half-day summer camp that lets your child get wacky, meet some new friends, and grow in confidence. Taught by pros from the comedysportz buffalo team, your child will learn teamwork, trust, accepting others, and a "yes, and..." attitude through improv. These skills not only apply in our classroom and on the stage, but also build character and experience that your children will use throughout life.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
