Overview
Mission
New Works SAs mission is to provide sustainable equitable and accessible theatre education and performance within the greater San Antonio area that empowers students ages 5-18 as creators and artists helping them to find personal academic and artistic success and fulfillment.
What it reported doing in 2025
This year New Works SA has transformed from offering only a summer program into a year round community of young artists our New Workers in San Antonio. By integrating community productions with our educational programs we have strengthened connections within the local theater scene while providing students with invaluable role models to observe collaborate with and learn from. Our growth has been remarkable with key metrics highlighting our impact: we served 102 students this year 30% of whom received in-house scholarships totaling nearly $9,394 in financial aid. Our fundraising efforts also saw a significant boost with individual donations reaching approximately $23,024 in 2025. This nearly 200% increase in enrollment from the previous year has enabled us to expand our number of performances offered 27 in total and increase the number of students we aim to reach this year enriching both our students and the broader community.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
