Overview
Mission
Grant Drum Line Music Association was founded in 2009 simultaneously with Grant Drum Line. At the time of its formation an association was not being discussed. The main drive was to support students through positive engagement and opportunities. As the Drum Line grow so did vision and desire to serve more students in need. Compelling research in combination with our collective experiences as educators has led the Association to believe that social emotional competencies are important to academic preparation in helping students succeed in college, the workforce, and maintaining mental health. There has also been recognition that these factors offer promising levers for raising the achievement of underprivileged children and ultimately, closing achievement gaps based on race and income.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.

- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
