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 (3)
- $28,682 spent. TOURING MUSICAL PROJECTS: TABLE POUNDING UNDERTOOK FOUR MUSICAL TOURS OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN 2024, REACHING OVER 15 000 PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR PUBLIC CONCERTS ON THREE SEPARATE PROJECTS. THE GOOD VIBES EXPLOSION TOUR HAD 7 CONCERTS, INCLUDING LIVE RADIO BROADCAST; TRADITIONS WITHOUT BORDERS HAD TWO SEPARATE TOURS WITH ONE SHOW EACH; AND KRAKAUER & TAGG HAD ONE CONCERT AS PART OF A NEW YORK RESIDENCY.
- $9,561 spent. RECORDING: A NEW ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN A ONE-DAY SESSION IN NEW YORK CITY, FOR RELEASE IN 2025. AS THE ALBUM HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED, MEASURABLE OUTCOMES WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN 2025. HOWEVER, BASED ON PREVIOUS RELEASES, WHICH HAVE BEEN HIGHLY COVERED IN THE PRESS, AND OFTEN AWARDED MAJOR PRIZES, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS RELEASE WILL REACH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LISTENERS.
- $9,561 spent. MUSICAL PROJECT CREATION: WORK WAS STARTED IN 2024 ON NEW WORK THAT WILL BE PREMIERED IN 2025, AND ON THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT NEEDED FOR THE WORK TO BE PRESENTED. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS WORK, ONCE PREMIERED, WILL SEE MANY FUTURE PERFORMANCES OVER MULTIPLE YEARS.
