Overview

Mission

Kalikolehua creates social change through free intensive educational music programs to children in poverty.

What it reported doing in 2015

In FY 2015 Kalikolehua offered a single program in the Kalihi neighborhood, serving 75 children in grades 2 - 7. The children learned singing, general music, recorder, and orchestral instruments eight hours weekly after school from September 2015 through April 2016. The student ensemble performed regularly throughout the year. Services were provided to them at no cost.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
