Overview

Mission

Provide jazz music and education for inland northwest

What it reported doing in 2024

The spokane jazz society promoted the art of jazz music through public performances in the inland northwest. The organization provided free and reduced cost tickets to area junior high and high school students to encourage the pursuit of musical arts. In addition, the organization targeted rural schools with limited economic resources by providing professional music clinics with the school's band and free jazz concerts to these rural communities which might not have had access to a performance of this nature.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
