Overview
Mission
The davis contemporary dance company (davis dance) is a multicultural, world-class, arts organization, whose mission is to enrich the lives of the community through the powerful language of dance. Davis dance was formed for charitable purposes with the intent of furthering dance education and the art of concert dance. Davis dance is accessible by everyone, without regard to economic and social backround. Our goal is to expose those who may not necessarily have the opportunity to experience the power of dance by offering live performances, master classes, children's workshops, lecture demonstrations, and collaborations with other artists.
What it reported doing in 2024

The intensive ends in a open studio performance for friends and family. Classes are open to the entire denver metro area and surrounding states.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 70% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
