Overview
Mission
Promotion of the arts by introduction of new artistic talent.
What it reported doing in 2025
We mounted 11 productions, with five of them commissioned world premieres and two were Los Angeles premieres, putting 26 actors on stage, while working with 11 directors and 15 designers. One of them has just received 6 NAACP Award nominations. Our total audience reached was a little over 3000!
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
