Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $73,746 spent. The Music Boosters' largest program was our support of the Stoney Creek High School Cougar Marching Band. We paid for the appx. 130 student group to attend a weeklong sleepaway camp to train for the season and have traditional Michigan camp experiences. In addition, we provided clinicians and staff to coach the musicians, coordinated chaperones for away games, hosted a marching band festival for our local school district, and sent our band to march in the town Christmas parade and compete in a regional marching band festival.
- $15,780 spent. The Music Boosters' second largest program was our support of the Stoney Creek High School Jazz Band. We provided a clinician, sent the musicians on an intensive weekend retreat to prepare for the season, sent them to a regional jazz festival where they received sophisticated feedback on their performance and witness other performances, and together with the other schools in our district, hosted a "Tri-High" jazz festival in a neighboring city. This neighboring city is struggling economically, and by performing in their revitalized downtown area, we helped bring attention and spending to this city. There were approximately 45 students.
- $6,005 spent. We raised money for and purchased a new marimba for the music program.
