Concerts for Youth

Each year, the anticipated audiences total more than 1500 students and teachers. Funding from the City of Sedona, the Arizona Commission on the Arts and other funders also helps provide scholarships for music lessons for deserving students. This program is supported by the music teachers and Superintendent Dearden as part of his “whole child” learning vision. In addition, CMS has obtained grant funding and donations to provide musical instruments, sheet music and supplies to Sedona area schools.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
