Overview

Mission

After-school at-risk youth Caribbean steel band music program for ages elementary through high school

What it reported doing in 2025

Music performance: specific costs include uniform shirts, transport of players, supervisors and equipment, meal costs and accommodations for off-island travel, music equipment maintenance and repairs, including about 20 local gigs in 2025 and a trip to a competition in Virginia, where they won first prize paired with a Washington DC band

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
