Overview

Mission

The purpose of this corporation is to act as a public charity, by transforming culture through the arts. This corporation is organized pursuant to the Georgia nonprofit corporation act and does not contemplate pecuniary gain or profit to members thereof and is organized for nonprofit purposes. This corporation is organized exclusively for religious, charitable, and educational purposes, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. This corporation shall not, except to an insubstantial degree, engage in any activity or exercise any powers that are not in furtherance of charitable, religious, scientific, literary, or educational purposes.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
