Overview
Mission
One of the missions of the Ringgold Band is to encourage and foster the development & love of band music among the youth of Berks County.
What it reported doing in 2024
The band performs a spring concert for the heritage of concert band music. Attendance is approximately 500 to 1,000 people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 66% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
