Overview

Mission

Promote appreciation of the arts and understanding of local history.

What it reported doing in 2014

An outdoor musical stage production and various musical performances were held, and a historical photography contest and an art contest were sponsored. About 9,000 people participated. Performing artists also provided educational performances and workshops in public schools. Funding was provided to a public high school to assist its drama department and funding was provided to upgrade a public school auditorium.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
