Overview

Mission

The filipino association of greater Kansas city is a not-for-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization established to preserve, promote, and enhance filipino culture through education and cultural arts and to provide service to the community at-large.

What it reported doing in 2025

The filipino association has a cultural/educational/performance group called the sinag-tala performing arts troupe, composed of volunteer members to perform native folk dances to filipino songs in several concerts to the general public with the goal to educate and entertain in spreading greater understanding of the filipino cultural heritage. The troupe has likewise reached out to second and third generation filipino americans and learned about their parent's heritage. The association has also maintained a modest permanent display of philippine artifacts, arts and crafts and a library of filipiniana book collections available for perusal to the general public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
