Overview

The arts are a right and not a privilege, thus we work to remove cost, geography, and perception barriers to every performance every performance is an opportunity to build belonging, empathy, and community for all.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community centered performances in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida, including free musical performances, Juneteenth celebrations, and dance performances
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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
