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 (2)
- $5,738 spent. Sunday, December 15, 2024, St. Paul's Lutheran Evangelical Church in Jersey City, NJ This falls concert title, The Dance of Love, is taken from the Rumi quote Both light and shadow are the dance of love, which is the basis for our opening song, written for us by Syrian Composer Wassim Abraham in 2019. The concert explores joyful and buoyant dance imagery in Il Est Nes 7/8 dance meter, a South African game song called Nda Wana, Piazzolas Vereno Porteno tango rhythms and foot stompers from Christmas and Hanukkah traditions, such as Deck the Halls and Drey Dredelekh.
- $5,464 spent. Saturday, May 17, 2025, 7:30PM, St. Matthew's Trinity Lutheran Church in Hoboken, NJ Cantigas' Spring 2025 concert, Wayfarer, is a prelude to our July tour to Greece for Preveza's International Choir Competition. Inspired by Poor Wayfaring Stranger, our program explores emigration across centuries - the resilience, turmoil, and nostalgia of leaving home, and the metaphorical layers of love and loss in folk traditions. Featuring works like La Paloma, Donal Óg, Sea Wash, and traditional Greek pieces, the concert reflects on migration's emotional and cultural impact. Members of Cantigas will also share personal stories of emigration. We dedicate this performance to all who have journeyed into the unknown in search of a new home.
