Overview

Mission

Classical orchestra and chorale concerts. Msoc performs concerts with full orchestra and chorale and as small ensembles in the community.

Msoc performed concerts with full orchestra and chorale and as small ensembles in the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
