Overview

Mission

Education, entertainment, and promotion of the choral arts in the community

What it reported doing in 2024

Community outreach performances for isolated/limited access communities (senior homes, hospitals, memory care facilities, etc.), various community gatherings, and public/private events; approx. 10-200 in attendance at each

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.
