Overview

Mission

Community music programs events and related support

What it reported doing in 2025

Showacse Series: A seasonal performance series highlighting developing and established local and regional artists. Twenty-one acts performed for audiences of up to 200 people. Events were free to the public supported by festival proceeds and provided accessible performance opportunities for musicians across genres.

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 95% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
