Overview
Mission
Keoni Movement Arts' mission is to make yoga, dance, and gymnastics accessible to individuals in the New York City Area. Our vision is an inclusive world of empowered individuals with strong bodies, minds, and spirits connected to the global community. We provide classes and performance opportunities to a diverse demographic of individuals - from young to old, a wide level of abilities from neurotypical to atypical, and from all socio-economic backgrounds. We are particularly dedicated to serving the under-resourced and at-risk sectors of our community.
What it reported doing in 2024
In our Fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, we served 68 distinct individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, including: low-income youth, disabled individuals, and older adults. In total, we provided 61 classes and workshops. Our class formats were: Chair Yoga Dance, Yoga Dance Flow, and Dance for Special Needs and Disabilities. We collaborated with one outside organization: Center for Family Support, which serves developmentally disabled adults. 100% of our classes were subsidized by grants and donations we received so that we could be open and accessible to all. Thus, we were able to implement a "pay-what-you-can" payment structures, so people could enroll in our programs regardless of their personal financial situation. And in some cases, we were able to offer "free" programming due to project grants we received. Our students ranged in age from 16 to 70+, including: at least 40 disabled persons and 24 older adults. We held three gatherings which featured our disabled / special needs individuals and older adults displaying their dance skills and choreography in front of friends, family, and KMA supporters. It was wonderful to create movement art as community, and the joy at our events was palpable.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
