Overview

Mission

Promoting and supporting live concerts and performing arts education locally.

What it reported doing in 2025

WMS offered two series of in-school discovery and interactive concerts for six local elementary schools in collaboration with the Symphony of the Americas. These concerts conducted in full assemblies engage all students in each school. The aim is to familiarize young students with various instruments in a traditional orchestra and their significance in different music genres they encounter. Additionally the program seeks to cultivate their interest in music programs as they progress to middle and high school.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
