Overview
Mission
Ekta supports collegiate performing arts by providing a unified platform that streamlines and standardizes team applications, competition registrations, and shared data/visualizations across competitive circuits to reduce administrative burden and improve transparency.
What it reported doing in 2024
Conceptualized, developed, and implemented the first common application platform for the south asian competitive circuits, starting with South Asian A Cappella and then implementing for Raas, Fusion, and Bhangra.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
