Overview
Mission
Expression's goal is to provide a positive learning environment that fosters improved self confidence and self-esteem through artistic expression in the performing arts.
What it reported doing in 2025
Expressions has provided over 30 performances to our local communities and performers supporting other nonprofits by fundraising for their causes such as cancer, san bernardino county children's network, diabetes, community services for underserved communities, and multiple sclerosis. In addition the performers have also performed at quakes stadium, crypto arena, knotts berry farm, la county fair and disneyland.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
