Overview
Mission
Not-for-profit Community Theater
What it reported doing in 2024
Renting out theater to organizations that need this kind of facility. We only charge a fee that covers our cost. Local summer theater program used our building and stage for rehearsals and performances, which supported a staff of 11 and students from all over Columbia County. We also rented out our building as a film location for a movie.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
