Overview

Mission

Promote the arts in Maury County.

Theatrical Productions - there were 5 productions that were performed staged and directed by volunteers of 7-45 people. These productions were done over multiple weekends and were performed by children teens and adults. All shows were open to the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
