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.

THE NEAREST VENUES FOR HIGH QUALITY MUSIC PERFORMANCES WERE TOO FAR AWAY AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO BE OF SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO CORRALES AND ITS NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. CCAC WAS INCORPORATED AS A NON-PROFIT ALL VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION TO EXPAND THE OPPORTUNITES FOR MUSIC ENRICHMENT AND EDUCATION IN CORRALES AND ITS MID RIO GRANDE REGION OF NEW MEXICO. CCAC (MUSIC IN CORRALES) BRINGS TO ITS STAGE REGIONAL AND NEW MEXICAN ARTISTS AND ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD SUCH AS MIDORI, M5 MEXICAN BRASS, JASPER STRING QUARTET, AND HARLEM STRING QUARTET TO ENHANCE THE CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT OF NEW MEXICO'S CENTRAL RIO GRANDE VALLEY. THE CONCERT SEASON FOR CCAC CONCISTS OF EIGHT CONCERTS FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH APRIL. MOST OF THE CONCERTS ARE HELD IN THE HISTORIC SAN YSIDRO CHURCH WHICH IS NOW A CENTER FOR ARTS, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY FORUMS. CCAC (MUSIC IN CORRALES) HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CHURCH BUILDING AND PROVIDES ALL CONCERT SERVICES. CCAC IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION COMPENSATING ONLY CONTRACTED SERVICES FOR BOOKKEEPING AND TAX FILINGS. ONLY THE PERFORMING ARTISTS ARE PAID.THE CHURCH BUILDING HAS A SEATING CAPACITY OF 150 IN A VERY INTIMATE SETTING WHICH IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE AND BARRIER FREE. VIRTUALLY ALL CCAC (MUSIC IN CORRALES)CONCERTS ARE SOLD OUT.
