Overview

Mission

Advancement of the arts in Schenectady, Saratoga and Montgomery counties, NY, by providing scholarships to students pursuing education in the arts and sponsoring artistic performances to foster engagement in the intended local communities

Operating model

Revenue model

Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

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