Overview

Mission

Intempo's mission is to close the achievement gap by making music education accessible, relevant, and inclusive, and to enable students to leverage the skills they gain through engaging in the arts to improve their educational, social, and personal outcomes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Music school 1 is an afterschool music-instruction and youth-development program that serves aproximately 140 students ages 6-17. The program runs from september through may each year. The program teaches them to play the violin, viola, guitar, and charango as well as how to sing choral music. The program also provides tutoring in specific subjects and reading, homework help, and english language learning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% 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

STRONG - 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.
