Overview

Mission

The Peninsula Women's Chorus inspires and enriches its singers and audiences through the creation and performance of diverse and adventurous music.

What it reported doing in 2024

Produced five ticketed in-person concerts reaching 1,022 attendees. Collaborated with student composers from the Stanford Graduate Composition Program to workshop, record, and perform their pieces.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
