Overview

Mission

The complete mission of the organization is as follows: the league works to increase the success and well-being of the theatrical industry in the "live show capital of the world," branson, Missouri. With over 100 live shows featuring music, comedy, magic, dancing, acrobats, theatrical plays, and more, the diversity and variety of choices of live shows make branson a unique and fun-filled family vacation destination. The league strives to increase interest in branson shows and show attendance, increase profitability for the branson show community, and to promote communications between shows, as well as throughout the branson community.

What it reported doing in 2014

We serve 30-40 members. We meet monthly to discuss issues and helpful ideas pertaining to our industry, create member committees to research or implement various projects, and put on fundraising events during the year. The monies raised from the fund raisers are used as marketing funds to buy commercials which promote our community of shows in branson.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 72% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
