Overview
Mission
Free Performances of Sacred Music
What it reported doing in 2012
The major emphasis in 2012 was to complete the recording of "Testament" an oratorio performed several years ago by the choir. Funds donated in 2011 were used to record instrumental music by the Indianapolis Orchestra and to pay local studio charges to record the vocal music and mix the two masters. The effort was so intense that only a Christmas program was prepared. It was presented once at a local Methodist Church. No funds were specifically donated or sought during 2012 to support this effort.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 79% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
