Overview
Mission
The primary purpose of the Durham Children's Choir is to provide an opportunity for music education to outstanding young singers in the greater Durham North Carolina community, so they may learn a wide variety of high quality choral music, both sacred and secular, and share that music with the community through public performances.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Durham Children's Choir provided music education and performance opportunities to a diverse group of children from Durham, NC and surrounding areas.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 71% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
