Overview

Mission

Charitable & Educational (arts/education programming)

What it reported doing in 2024

PRODUCTION: Full productions in the theatre/dance genre which provide entertainment and education while creating a sense of community and connection among audience members. 2024-25 impact included 14 projects involving 85 contributing artists, with a total of 3,151 attendees.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
