Overview

Mission

Education of the arts

What it reported doing in 2023

Kearsarge Conservatory of the Performing Arts (KCPA) provides instruction in music, acting and dance. Services include weekly classes, summer workshops, master classes, community performances, and three major annual performance venues: Spring Show (showcasing all dance genres and a one act ballet), Summer Show (musical theatre), and Winter Show (original works by Angela Tarleton).

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
