Overview
Mission
K4K in Harmony serves youth across New Orleans, with a focus on those facing challenges and barriers to access. Through songwriting and instrumental music programs, we offer young people a creative outlet for healing, expression, and empowerment. While our mission now centers on music, we continue the coat tradition to honor our co-host, the late Ellis Marsalis, and the New Orleans musicians who give so generously of their time and talent for the community.
What it reported doing in 2025
Annual Concert / Performance Showcase - The Organization hosted its annual concert and mid-year performance show as a student performance showcase for youth participating in its music education programs. The concert provided students with an opportunity to present what they learned, build confidence, and engage families and the community through music.
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.
