Overview

Mission

The jarrard burch foundation is a non-profit organization with proceeds going to benefit local charities.

What it reported doing in 2024

John jarrard and bruce burch were well known nashville songwriters who pinned multiple hits for a number of top country music stars. In their memory, a group of friends organized a special fun filled annual benefit concert. In 2024, proceeds from this benefit concert went to the "bruce burch exponential learning fund" at the university of Georgia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
