Overview

Mission

To serve as a non-profit movie theater and cultural center, making arts, eductation, and entertainment accessible to all in Wyoming county and northeastern Pennsylvania. Continued in schedule o.

What it reported doing in 2024

As the only arts and cultural organization of its kind in a fifty-mile radius, the Wyoming county cultural center provides cultural and educational programming for all ages in the fields of music, theatre, visual arts, crafts, media arts, folk arts, humanities, multi-disciplinary arts, science, nature, and health and wellness. Our focus is providing these opportunities to all, particularly to those whose access to in-depth studies and exposure to the arts is limited by their financial means. Continued in schedule o.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
