Overview
Mission
NJIO opens the world of orchestral music to diverse audiences and to musicians of all ages and varied skill levels, and fosters human connection through enriching educational experiences and performances.
What it reported doing in 2024
New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra (NJIO) welcomes musicians of all ages and varying skill levels into a nurturing artistic environment. Four separate ensembles allow our members to grow musically and socially with instruction from music professionals and by working with each other. NJIO believes that music performances are beneficial to everyone, and serves our community by presenting 4 free orchestral concerts and 11 outreach performances and special events throughout New Jersey with total attendance (live and virtual) around 2000. NJIO also offers summer programming in the form of chamber music instruction and an Intergenerational Conducting Institute. About 150 individuals participate in NJIO programs which promote lifelong learning, mentorship between generations, and sharing the joy of music with diverse populations through NJIOs free community concerts.
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
SUPPORTED - 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.
