Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We have two main programs: TAHAWUS CENTER, its goal is to enrich the lives of those within its reach through a diverse program of arts, education, and social experiences for people of all ages, and to offer productive training and events to inspire and cultivate a “can do" approach to creative entrepreneurship. Using the Center's Windows Art and Education Gallery and Cloudsplitter Dance Studio is a hub for vitality, culture and community in Au Sable Forks, NY, and spurring Main St revitalization in the green renewal of a 100-year former Masonic Lodge.
REBECCA KELLY BALLET, the contemporary chamber company based in the Adirondacks and NYC is focused on the creation and presentation of professional performances of original ballet's.

Financial data
APPLEBY FOUNDATION INC
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
