Overview
Mission
Provide support for a high school performing arts program.

A band booster organization supporting the extra-curricular music program at Martin Luther King High School. We promote, develop, and support participation in music education and performing arts. The program consists of approximately 150 students.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
