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.

- $35,154 spent. This year New Works SA has transformed from offering only a summer program into a year round community of young artists our New Workers in San Antonio. By integrating community productions with our educational programs we have strengthened connections within the local theater scene while providing students with invaluable role models to observe collaborate with and learn from. Our growth has been remarkable with key metrics highlighting our impact: we served 102 students this year 30% of whom received in-house scholarships totaling nearly $9,394 in financial aid. Our fundraising efforts also saw a significant boost with individual donations reaching approximately $23,024 in 2025. This nearly 200% increase in enrollment from the previous year has enabled us to expand our number of performances offered 27 in total and increase the number of students we aim to reach this year enriching both our students and the broader community.
