Overview

Mission

To develop an exceptional and accessible center for the arts that inspires, empowers, and educates our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Numerica Performing Arts Center is a vibrant hub for arts and culture in the heart of downtown Wenatchee. This intimate 550-seat venue offers a diverse range of performances, from Broadway shows and national touring productions to local talent and community events. The PAC is committed to enriching the cultural landscape of the region through arts education, outreach programs, and partnerships with local organizations.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
