Overview

Mission

Support Kennedy Middle School choir program.

What it reported doing in 2025

Funded participation in Anaheim forum music festival, where students of the choir participated in vocal studio lessons, recording and performing. The activity benefitted approximately 40 students. They participated in a vocal competition where they were adjudicated for their singing by a panel of judges. The program benefitted around 45 participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
