Overview

Mission

Inspire, educate, entertain & promote the expression of the human experience through movement.

What it reported doing in 2018

PERFORMANCES - CORE Contemporary Dance (originally CORE Dance Collective) was founded in 2007 by Kelli Leighton and a group of dancers who wanted to do more than just "go through the motions" of choreography. CORE stands for "collection of real experiences", and by drawing from the pain or triumph of their own life experiences, the dancers give their performances genuine emotional depth.During 2018 the organization decided to take a step back to evaluate the program and what the emphasis should be going forward. One show was produced with 2 performances - attendance 400.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
