Overview
Mission
We provide self care in the form of live music to educators and social service providers.
What it reported doing in 2024
To provide self care in the form of live music to educators and social service providers as a way to strengthen the health of everyone in our community, by providing access to the experience of live music because the supporters of our community are overextended and stressed to the point of compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
