Overview
Mission
Martial arts school
What it reported doing in 2025
The Chinese Culture Center- Lins Martial Arts offers various classes in traditional Chinese martial arts. Currently there are over 50 students, ages 7 to 80+, who study to develop martial arts skills in accordance with their own abilities and to gain health benefits from the structured training and exercise.. The schools demonstration teams made up of student volunteers also perform at local community events as outreach, such as the Chinese New Year celebration at the Center, the Albuquerque International Festival, and the Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Festival at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, which are attended by hundreds of spectators.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 97% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
