Overview
Mission
To educate, empower and inspire youth through engagement in the arts.
What it reported doing in 2017
MMAP increases civic engagement and literacy through exploration of art and culture as a tool for personal development and an alternative to risky behavior. MMAP's mission is to educate, empower and inspire youth through public art performances and installations. Public art is narrative of place, inspiring community development & renewal. It is a connective force across desperate groups, particularly empowering for community members not otherwise participating in public debate.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 71% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
