Overview

Mission

Provide local festivals for high school and junior high school music students

What it reported doing in 2024

The District III Music Educators Association is a branch of the Idaho Music Educators Association. We hold music festivals throughout the school year for the students within the district. Traveling to out of state festivals is not cost effective for many of our music programs, so by hosting them locally many more students get to have the experience of performing on a big stage for adjudication. Our programs range in size from groups of 6 students to ensembles of 150 or more. We hold festivals all year long for the different ensembles found in our schools; marching band, jazz band, concert band, large and small group choirs, string orchestra, full orchestra, solos and small ensembles.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
