Overview

Mission

Libera of the United States provides Libera a boys choir from South London United Kingdom with funds dedicated to their touring and recording endeavors in the United States and will provide services such as booking lodging and accommodations within the United States paying for their travel to and from and within the United States cultural and educational opportunities for the boys of the choir when in the United States and subsidizing the cost of performing in diverse concert venues such as community performance halls or churches.

What it reported doing in 2025

As the choir did not tour the United States or have any business within the United States during 2025 all expenses were related to insurance premiums $5279 information technology and subscriptions $1201 or administrative $10. During years in which the choir does perform in the United States expenses cover all services such as travel reservations lodging and accommodations and venue bookings for the tour.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
