Overview

Mission

She Rock She Rock is a Minnesota nonprofit dedicated to empowering girls, women, trans & nonbinary folks through the art of music.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, we served approximately 250 girls, women & gender-expansive folks through our programs & events, including Girls Rock N Roll Retreat (GRRR), Bi-Monthly Jams & Women's Rock n Roll Retreat (WRRR). Our work is a direct attempt to amplify voices that have historically been told to be silent. Our programming provides the tools for all participants to find their voices through fearless artistic expression, composition, collaboration & creativity, regardless of skill level. We provide an environment that values collaboration, develops leadership skills & fosters self-confidence. Through our music education programs & events, we believe creative expression evokes social change, challenges gender stereotypes & encourages a climate of support within our community.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
