Overview
Mission
The Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra (CATS) has been organized to produce and promote quality theatrical presentations and other works of art and literature that deal with Asian and Asian-related themes for the purpose of educating the general public regarding the aforementioned works. The presentations are done through high quality multicultural theater, events, and workshops. The mission of CATS is artistic and educational and seeks to expand the study of multiculturalism in the schools and to be a resource on Asian culture and history.
What it reported doing in 2024
CATS offers cultural enrichment programs, open to the members of the Grass Valley and Nevada City, California community, on various Asian themed topics. In the past years, CATS offered virtual cultural enrichment including cooking classes, watercolor and origami classes. During 2024-2025 various cultural enrichment events included the 1) Mahjong classes held at the Sierra Gold Community Senior Center; 2) co-organized and presented the Nevada City Chinese Lunar New Year Parade and Festival on February 23, 2025 - honoring the early Chinese Gold Rush pioneers and railroad workers of the Sierra.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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.
