Overview

Mission

Continue to provide educational opportunities in vocal music and dance. Through projects like bemidji boychoir, the bemidji youth honors choir, and summer voice lesson programs, show choirs of bemidji, inc. Will continue to bring more artistic opportunities to young people in our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

A second show choir, "la voce ballo", has been established providing an intensive learning experience for students in the art of singing, dancing, & performing. This event provides our students a unique opportunity to not only participate as a group, but to develop and present solo acts as well. Our primary fundraising activity is our annual dinner show. While providing a stage for our young people to grow as performers, the dinner show has become a cooperative effort; bringing our community together through volunteer work and donations to create three nights of exceptional entertainment.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
