Mission
The corporation's primary charitable exempt purpose is to preserve, protect, promote, enhance and celebrate the history and tradition of the yale alley cats; to foster a sense of community among alumni of the yale alley cats; to act as liaison between the yale alley cats and yale university; to provide such support as may be necessary and appropriate for each year of the yale alley cats; and to support and encourage the broad enhancement of a cappella singing. In furtherance of such purpose, the corporation plans to conduct the activity described below.
What it reported doing in 2024
The corporation also plans to communicate with alumni of the yale alley cats and the general public regarding the achievements and needs of the yale alley cats and organize events to bring together alumni, the general public and current members of the yale alley cats in order to increase awareness of the charitable purpose of the yale alley cats, inc., a separate 501(c)(3) organization, and to foster connections and support between alumni and the general public and the yale alley cats, inc.

The corporation plans to communicate with alumni of the yale alley cats regarding the achievements and needs of the yale alley cats intermittently year-round, with more significant alumni events organized annually or every several years to coincide with meaningful historical or current yale alley cat events (e.g., the 75th anniversary of the founding of the yale alley cats).
