Music for the sake of music, inc. Strives to provide the tools needed, and to create opportunities for those in northeastern wisconsin, to create music at a high level of artistry. This is done through continuation and creation of summer ensembles, and the creation of a community music school--a center for private music instruction--for no charge.

Program
No-charge summer ensembles and performances, community music school, and administrative expenses to support these endeavors.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $5k to $0 (−100%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
