Overview
Mission
To give talented young dancers the opportunity to perform in professional level productions and to invite the community to fall in love with classical ballet through our inspired storytelling, magical productions, and uncompromising artistry.
Princeton Youth Ballet (PYB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2005 that provides talented young dancers the opportunity to perform in professional-level classical ballet productions. Based in Princeton, New Jersey, the company presents two full-length ballets each season, including The Nutcracker and Cinderella, and collaborates with regional arts organizations such as the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Boheme Opera NJ. PYB also offers sensory-friendly performances, outreach programs for underserved communities, and free dance classes for individuals with Parkinson's disease and other physical disabilities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
