Overview

Mission

Encourage the growth of the performing arts in Marshall and the surrounding areas. Support arts in the area.

What it reported doing in 2025

Radio Show - a radio show both recorded for radio play in coordination with the local radio station, and in person performances. About 10-20 cast and crew

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 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.
