Overview
Mission
The Michael ONeal Singers organization seeks to engage, educate and enrich Atlanta-area singers and audiences with compelling choral experiences through innovative, multicultural and multigenerational programming.
What it reported doing in 2024
Since 1989, The Michael ONeal Singers (MOS) organization has provided exceptional choral music for the greater Atlanta area. MOS seeks to engage, educate, and enrich singers and audiences with compelling choral experiences through innovative, multicultural, and multigenerational programming.Composed of a chorus of over 130 auditioned voices and Kaleidoscope, a chamber ensemble of 40 voices, MOS presents a diverse annual season of concerts featuring major masterworks with full orchestra. A notable cornerstone of recent programming includes the monumental pairing of Haydns The Creation and Dan Forrests CREATION.The organization maintains a global reach through its "Online MOS" program, which enables virtual and distanced singers to participate in rehearsals and performances alongside the Atlanta-based ensemble. Community outreach remains a vital component of the organizations mission; initiatives include sending performance videos and presenting in-person outreach concerts for prisons, senior living, memory care, and hospice facilities, ensuring that professional-grade choral music is accessible to all members of the community.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
