What Weston Music Society Inc does
Mission
Promoting and supporting live concerts and performing arts education locally.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
WMS offered two series of in-school discovery and interactive concerts for six local elementary schools in collaboration with the Symphony of the Americas. These concerts conducted in full assemblies engage all students in each school. The aim is to familiarize young students with various instruments in a traditional orchestra and their significance in different music genres they encounter. Additionally the program seeks to cultivate their interest in music programs as they progress to middle and high school.

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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $50k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
