Overview
Mission
Afro-Haitian music research, documentation, and presentation
What it reported doing in 2024
We revived and presented a theatre piece, an eco-folktale blending elements of Afro-Haitian folklore with current concerns about Haiti's fragile ecosystems. We presented the piece in Brooklyn, then traveled to Bloomington, Indiana to present it there.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
