Overview

Mission

The marshalltown community concert association (mcca) is an all-volunteer, non-profit concert association, operating under the name, live on stage marshalltown (losm). Mcca has brought high-quality musical concerts to the marshalltown, Iowa community for 86 years. Losm is supported financially through the sales of concert ticket subscriptions and generous donations of patrons. This financial assistance helps to subsidize the annual concert ticket prices and allows the guest artists to provide educational and music programming to students of the local marshalltown community school district.

What it reported doing in 2025

The program services are operating at full capacity. The officers, directors and board members have continued the administrative functions of the organization and the schedule of community concerts and school music programming by the visiting talent.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
