Overview
Mission
The Falcon Playhouse Foundation is an all-volunteer organization created to support and enhance the Falcon Playhouse, which is a student operated theatre program at Scripps Ranch High School, a public high school in San Diego, California. Through donations, boosters, and ticket sales, the Foundation helps fund costumes, equipment, lighting, tech support, and props for the theatre education and expand access and opportunities to programs for the students at Scripps Ranch High School.
What it reported doing in 2025
Supported 4 student led Theater Productions by facilitating ticket sales, as well as the purchase of costumes, publications, stage equipment and supplies.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
