Overview

Mission

To present monthly folk music concerts to support the arts in the community. We have chosen folk music as the primary focus of our productions and its representation of various cultures from the community and around the world. These activities support artists and their work as well as provide opportunities for the community to learn about our diverse cultural backgrounds in an enjoyable, informative and educational format.

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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
