Overview

Mission

To nurture and develop Golden Isles-area children from diverse backgrounds in the joys and discipline of high quality choral singing, music education, and performance; to offer a curriculum of varied repertoire including classical, popular, and multicultural music, and to enrich the musical scene of the Golden Isles with the unique children's choir sound.

What it reported doing in 2015

Demonstrating the Choir's commitment to bringing arts into the Golden Isles and to nurture and develop Golden Isles-area children, the Organization provided choral training and music education to children ages seven to sixteen that reside in the Golden Isles and surrounding areas. The Choir members consist of children from lower-income to higher-income families who demonstrated a passion for music and singing.

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 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
