What MCO Cultural Exchange Corporation does
Mission
Music education for youth and the broader public
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The MCO CEF has continued to do important cultural projects during the season 2022-2023. Our goal is to support the education of talented musicians who are studying at American Universities and Musical Colleges and Conservatories. Currently we have students at Bard College in NY State (Leonid Gurevich), The Juilliard School of Music- Alisa Sadikova- Harpist, and Boston Conservatory - where composer Grig Balasannian is studying and Andre Romanov is currently getting his Master's Degree at New York University at StoneyBrook, Long Island, NY. Additionally, we supported excellent vocalists and instrumentalists in the furtherment of their careers: Grant Hanessian has supported young violinist Sergey Dayan from Armenia and Kira Makagon, Tatev Baroyan who was sent to audition at European Opera Houses and then received contracts for performances. The CEF produced a concert at Carnegie Hall featuring the 150th Anniversary of composer Sergei Rachmaninoff with the help of Elisa Wagner ICP (Production company in NY).

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $294k to $14k (−95%).
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.
100% of MCO Cultural Exchange Corporation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
