Overview
Mission
Unbound is a new way of moving with no boundaries, raw, undefined, athletic, meaningful, literal, passionate. It gives dancers the artistic freedom to express themselves through movement without feeling constrained to any specific genre of dance. We live and breathe dancing- that is what we are made of. We are all different sizes and shapes, we all move differently, but come together to present our feelings through movement. We are unbound by definition, we have no limits, we are daring. Our souls are fearless. We don't see ourselves just as dancers, but as catalysts for our passion, for life, through dance. We are ordinary people who love something so much that we are willing to reveal our inner most feelings to inspire others to do the same.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
