What James Bowie High School Starlight Theatre Booster Club does
Mission
Support the James Bowie High School Starlight Theatre Company program including more than 175 students participating in theater classes and productions. Support for faculty stipends and projects, promotion of theater productions, providing programs for the theater productions throughout the year, and raising funds for scholarships for graduating senior theater students.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Since this is a short-year return (6/1/24-7/31/24) due to a change in the accounting period approved by the IRS, the normal programs and services in which the organization engages did not occur during these two months. There was minor fundraising activity during the two month short period, netting $707 for the booster organization

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $16k to $22k (+37%).
How it's funded, over time

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
