Overview
Mission
Public charitable purpose community arts organization
What it reported doing in 2025
Support expenses for the operation of the community arts organization. In addition, the somerset artists co-op served as a fiscal agent for the dolly parton imagination library of perry county from april 1, 2025 through september 30, 2025. The library was functioning under the auspices of the ludowici foundation but the foundation did not want the proceeds under their nonprofit status. So the co-op agreed to serve as their fiscal agent so youth would continue to receive free books, until they formed their own nonprofit. Note all funds were deposited in a separate checking account per the rules of the dolly parton foundation and the co-op received no compensation for serving as the fiscal agent, i.e. The imagination library of perry county used our EIN number (bank required) until september 30, 2025. The co-op reported the income (35,828.), under part i, line 1 and reported the transfer (35,828.) to their EIN number, under other expenses.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 76% for direct work, and 24% for grants.
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.
