Overview

Mission

To offer children a stimulating summer musical theater

What it reported doing in 2024

76 children participated in a five week summer theater camp culminating in a full-length musical production. Running the camp is this organizations sole program and purpose. All of the camps revenues and expenses are dedicated to this effort.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

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.
