Overview
Mission
Provide an uplifting/affordable location for dance and arts in under-served communities
What it reported doing in 2025
Affordable Community Venue: Provide space for artists, organizations, and the community to celebrate, gather, and enjoy in a safe and affordable location. We provide music, parking, lighting, and more at a price that is roughly a 3rd of similar locations so that our community can have a place for special events. We had 1,757 hours dedicated to this while hosting well over 4000 people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
