Overview

Mission

We are a group of Gilbert area parents and patrons who volunteer our time and resources to enhance the fine arts programs offered by the Gilbert school system. We do this in many ways, including the following: communicate with fine arts teachers and staff to determine their needs and how we can best help to meet those needs; help represent fine arts priorities to Gilbert school administrators; organize volunteers as needed to support fine arts activities; solicit, receive, manage, and disburse funds to support the fine arts programs at Gilbert schools.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through expended funds we impact a strong majority of the students at Gilbert Schools. Funds expended this year went toward sheet music, clinicians, stage productions, art supplies, grants and scholarships for students interested in the arts, and other supplies and equipment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
