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.

  1. $17,099 spent. A production about Charles Moore, a major figure in dance, as a result of the integration of From The Horses Mouth into Clark Center NYC was held at the 14th Street YMCA. Charles Moore who taught and whose company was produced by Clark Center, was celebrated by those who had performed, been taught by, and were influenced by him. Part of the week was a panel discussion, a dance class, and three performances. Collaborations with the American Dance Guild and the 14th Street Y are being planned for 2026 and 2027. Grants from The Jody and John Arnold Foundation and the Harkness Foundation helped fund the project.
