Overview

Mission

The primary exempt purpose of McAuliffe Choir Boosters is to support the choir and music programs at McAuliffe Middle School.

What it reported doing in 2024

The award-winning McAuliffe Middle School choir program comprises about 300 students led by choral director, Mrs. Shannon Wallace. Each year, the booster board, parent volunteers and students worked together to put on student performance/shows. Fundraisers are needed to help offset the exorbitant expenses for costumes, alterations, meals, transportation, competition fees, choreographers, musicians, music licensing fees, videography, and miscellaneous administrative costs.2024-2025McAuliffe choirs had an amazing year! Our advanced girls choir swept both competitions by coming in 1st place at Burbank and Luther and won "Best Music" at Xtravaganza Competition. Our boys choir won "Best Show" at our Luther compeition and "Best Music" at Xtravaganza. Our intermediate girls choir placed 2nd at Xtravaganza as well. We also had a very successful and entertaining Lip Sync Battle, attended a vocal jazz festival and had our yearly performance at Knotts Berry Farm. We had packed audiences of supportive parents at our fall "Red Carpet" concert, and our winter concert and we ended the year with our "Concert on the Green" picnic concert. Lastly, choir students practiced making music videos and made some fabulous music videos to showcase at our last concert.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
