Overview
Mission
Making dance! Growing dancers! And building community! Our mission is twofold: First we provide an exemplary dance education program for under-served, under-resourced children and youth who could not otherwise afford this type of programming; and second, we create and present multi-cultural professional dance performances. Our school year and summer programs include an academic curriculum known as Dance and Anthropology for teens. It should be noted that we have excluded the value of donated studio space and donated services from our income and expense statements. Our grant income is allocated to our education programs. We make no grants to others.
What it reported doing in 2024
Instruments of Culture is our full day, full week summer program serving young people ages 4 to 21. It is linked to literacy development for all age groups. It culminates in an original, full-length performance. Depending on age, our young people participate for six or seven weeks. We have offered this program in both an online and hybrid version, practicing sound health protocols. We presented the summer program as a video of the entire performance that was attended by both the performers and their families. $74,448.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 and expenses are high relative to revenue.
