What The Carnegie Hall Society Inc does
Mission
The carnegie hall society's mission is to collect and provide funds for the perpetuation, maintenance, and use of carnegie hall's activities in music performance and education. Because these activities are conducted by the carnegie hall corporation, a related 501(c)(3)organization, this 990 return should be read in conjunction with the 990 return of the corporation.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Hall rental operations - leasing and managing carnegie hall as an auditorium for concerts and other performances to diversify the exposure of music related arts to the community.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 64 funders to 35 funders, grant income fell $5.8M → $5.5M.
8 of 129 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.5M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Mercedes T Bass Charitable Corporation). These are real filings, and they are not money The Carnegie Hall Society Inc raised.
