Overview
Mission
We provide a nurturing and comprehensive training program and we provide full and partial scholarships for families who struggle financially to pay for training. We also offer trade opportunities to lessen the financial burden. Trade families offer to volunteer specialized services such as costuming, or custodial services, in exchange for reduced tuition. We feel it is important to offer trade opportunities to those who are willing to help the organization in appropriate ways. In 2023 we provided $16,147 in scholarships and $32,987 in trade. We also offered 5 performing opportunities: "The Tales and Tails of Dr. Dolittle" was presented at the O'Shaughnessy auditorium, and we served over 1100 students from disadvantaged schools to see the show for free, and we live streamed the show for over 3000 people world wide, catering to juvenile detention centers, nursing homes, schools that were unable to afford the busing to see the show live, and other communities of need.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 87% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
