Overview

Mission

To promote community attendance at concerts in west michigan. I was born and raised in Holland, attending Holland public schools and churches. Music was always in our home. There have been many life experiences that have shaped and molded me to whom I am today, but my parents’ solid, unchanging love & support made it easy to see God’s love through them. Humanness came into play many times, and I did have my share of screw-ups, but my moral foundation was firm. I did/do not want to disappoint my parents or God.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
