What Search and Restore Inc does
Mission
To operate a website that full informs upon all live jazz in new york city; to provide an outlet for small cultural events in the new york city area in the field of progressive jazz and improvisational music; to build a sustainable community for progressive jazz and improvisational music in nyc and beyond through creative bookings, affordability, and youth engagement.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Since 2015 search and restore's primary activity has been to co-produce the esteemed nyc winter jazzfest, coordinating venue and programming activities along with festival founder brice rosenbloom and his boom collective organization. Featured artists have included the bad plus, meshell ndegeocello, shabaka hutchings, colin stetson, kris davis, and many more. The winter jazzfest has also signed on with the prs foundation's key change program to create a true gender balance on music festival stages around the world. During the covid-19 pandemic we partnered with the jazz coalition to administer small grants to artists to help them during this period of no touring or performing. In 2022 we partnered with jazz coalition to help fund and facilitate the "jazz coalition series" at the falcon, a venue in marlboro, ny. Performances featured artists such as ej strickland, theo bleckmann, camille thurman, helen sung and steven bernstein.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $30k to $15k (−52%).
