Overview

Mission

Clark Center NYC is dedicated to preserving the history, and continuing the legacy of Clark Center for the Performing Arts, providing a rich resource for dancers, choreographers, students and others, Clark Center NYC honors the past, champions the present and builds for the future.

What it reported doing in 2025

A production about Charles Moore, a major figure in dance, as a result of the integration of From The Horses Mouth into Clark Center NYC was held at the 14th Street YMCA. Charles Moore who taught and whose company was produced by Clark Center, was celebrated by those who had performed, been taught by, and were influenced by him. Part of the week was a panel discussion, a dance class, and three performances. Collaborations with the American Dance Guild and the 14th Street Y are being planned for 2026 and 2027. Grants from The Jody and John Arnold Foundation and the Harkness Foundation helped fund the project.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
