What Marquette Choral Society does
Mission
The mission of the MCS is to establish and maintain a tradition of choral excellence; to present performances of choral literature, accompanied and unaccompanied, secular and sacred, from all musical eras and cultures; to exert a positive influence on choral performance throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula; and to promote other cultural programs which support the above purposes.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.

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 $42k to $64k (+53%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
19% of MARQUETTE CHORAL SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
