What Mobile Big Band Society Inc does
Mission
The mission of this organization is to continue the performance and preservation of the music of the big band era.

Program
Supported operations of the jazz studio, an educational arm of the mobile big band, which teaches and provides music education to students on a weekly basis.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $25k to $45k (+85%).
How it's funded, over time
