Overview

Mission

Tbh is a latino cultural center

What it reported doing in 2013

Educational programs - tbh offers the community classes, workshops and performances on a regular basis. These educational opportunities engage specific groups--senior citizens, underpriviledged youth, immigrant communities, as well as other non-traditional groups. The courses and workshops range from introductory to advanced levels in the dramatic and literary arts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
