Overview
Mission
Our mission is to bring the classical and contemporary brass sound to concerts and educational programming within our community. Concert attendees include, but are not limited to, schools with high numbers of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, classes of special needs students, seniors, and the community at large.
What it reported doing in 2024
Concerts. Oakwood brass provided 38 live concerts by professional brass musicians to 2,120 fourth through sixth grade students in the pasadena unified school district during regular school hours. These concerts are designed to foster student interest in signing up for their school band program using a fun and educational program with a wide variety of music selections including american blues, argentinian tangoes, and a bach fugue. These concerts are provided at no cost to the schools or students.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
