Overview
Mission
Community Music / Arts Organization
What it reported doing in 2024
Concert performances of Modern Choral Works in the Bay Area. Highlights: Peter Shin's "Bits Torn From Words", originally from a 2024 Grammy-winning Roomful of Teeth recording. The premiere US performance of Gerard Grisey's "Les Chants du Amour", a difficult modern classic of Spectral music. Premieres of works by up-and-coming composers
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 81% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
