What Maui Youth Philharmonic Orchestra does
Mission
The Maui Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (MYPO) provides high-quality music education instruction, experiences, and performances to the youth in Maui County. Our heart is to also reach the underserved youth as we believe every student should have the opportunity to play an orchestral instrument, regardless of their socio-economic background. We support and enrich the young musicians on Maui to reach their highest potential.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
MYPO has recently begun Strings in the Schools in order to reach students that may not have access or the opportunity learn a classical string instrument. MYPO has provided a Beginning Strings program for youth from 7-15 to learn to play a classical string instrument. The String Ensemble is a continued education for students that have played for at least a year or 2 through private lessons. Concert Strings is for students with 3+ years of education and playing to continue their orchestral journey. All of these groups have come together for a winter concert and a spring concert to showcase their musical talents and accomplishments. Since Covid the number of students has begun to increase and this year there were more than 35 participants.
$0 spentSince the string program is being offered to youth in a public & a private school, the interest to play a string instrument has greatly increased. MYPO strives to offer access to the string program for students of all ages.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $13k to $35k (+170%).
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.
