Overview
Mission
To make beautiful music for the glory of God, honoring Jesus Christ through excellence in choral music education for homeschooling families.
What it reported doing in 2024
The cantate home school choirs train students, ages 4 - 19 years old, to sing with a healthy vocal tone and to read music. All 4 of our choirs then perform multiple times in various local retirement homes and in final concerts. 7 - 19 year old students have the opportunity to meet weekly with a small group and a trained music tutor to help them grow in more specific areas of musical training.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
