Overview

Mission

We are a simple but passionate company of clowns. We strive to facilitate an environment where everyone can discover the world around them with an empathetic lens where performers can risk and create freely and where audiences can witness core human truths. We strive to deepen a lasting connection between fellow persons as a direct result of our work as a company. Teaching and developing emotional intelligence with elementary aged children. Creating sociable interactions within secondary education systems. Promoting positive mental health practices and experiences. Inciting creativity among those from a multitude of backgrounds.

What it reported doing in 2023

Education. Klouns teaches volunteers at after-school programs. We teach the same principles as our workshops however in a school setting where the class is all around the same age. The concepts are simplified but still have the same effect as our adult workshops. We reached about 100 students this year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
