Overview

Mission

The sunset apollo marching band & auxiliary (samba) parent club is a non- profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports all of the comprehensive band and colorguard programs available at sunset high school. Samba fundraises throughout the year to pay for travel expenses, entry fees, uniforms, specialized performance instruction, show design, instrument purchase and repair, the purchase of new music and arrangements, and scholarhips for students who otherwise would be unable to afford to participate.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide instruction, materials, entry/registration fees, and travel costs, allowing approximately 55 samba students to participate in several band competitions and performances.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
