Overview

Mission

Group Acorde's mission is to cultivate and educate diverse audiences through live, thought-provoking, original and affordable performance collaborations between contemporary dance and experimental music. The company broadens its reach through community partnerships that aim to include and engage people from all walks of life through education, dialogue and accessibility.

What it reported doing in 2024

Beat: 3 public performances for a self-produced show at MATCH Houston featuring art created by 8 residents at the MEND center for mental health as a result of our community engagement programming. 100 audience members of all genders, ages, and ethnicity attended the performance with access to affordable ticketing costs. Each performance was followed by a Question and Answer session with the artists as part of our community engagement initiatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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.
