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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $50,061 spent. SKCC is a non-audition membership based chorale, learning challenging & diverse musical literature in a broad range of styles, providing an extraordinary educational experience through rehearsals, concerts and cultural exchange; currently ~50 singers, with weekly rehearsal. We cancelled a planned trip (June 2022) to sing in Croatia, now planned for July 2024; SKCC has survived COVID despite a 60% reduction in members, cancellation of concerts, fundraisers, etc., we were able to retain our director with salary. We returned to in-person rehearsal and concerts for the 2021-2022 season and in the current 2022-2023 season we have regained some strength now at 70 plus singers and plan to have a concert at Benaroya Hall in Seattle in June 2024 featuring a combined choir of 180 voices and a 55 piece orchestra. This would not have been possible without a COVID recovery grant of over $40,700.
  2. $17,233 spent. SKCC provides a quality and inspirational musical environment for people of all ages, through public performances for both paying audiences (typically 3 concerts/year); and free events -- SKCC performs at community sponsored events (e.g. tree lighting, july 4), senior centers, schools, veteran's Day; farmer's markets. Concerts were performed December 2022 and March and June in 2023 with low priced admission for students and seniors despite increased costs. We used a grant from WA ARTSFUND to help with concert expenses - venue rent, musicians, etc.
  3. $300 spent. Part III Line 30: SKCC supports the community's music students and seniors, providing annual support ($1050) to the Edmonds College Foundation through the SKCC Frank DeMiero Scholarship Fund by sharing fundraising and/or concert proceeds. Not awarded in FY2022 due to lack of suitable candidates; $300 donated to Edmonds Woodway HS music boosters
