What they do

BD PERFORMING ARTS PERMANENTLY ENRICHES THE LIVES of YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH A COMMITMENT to YOUTH DEVELOPMENT and PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, WHILE PROVIDING ENJOYMENT for OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY and AUDIENCES WORLDWIDE.MUSIC and THE PERFORMING ARTS CONNECT YOUTH WITH THEIR CULTURE THROUGH A COMMON LANGUAGE CROSSING GENERATIONAL, SOCIAL, and RACIAL BARRIERS. THE ACTIVITIES THAT A YOUNG PERSON PURSUES INFLUENCES THE TYPE of PERSON HE or SHE BECOMES. THE EXPERIENCE THAT COMES WITH PARTICIPATION IN A PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION BUILDS DISCIPLINE, CHARACTER, PRIDE, and SELF-CONFIDENCE AT A CRUCIAL AGE and FORMS THE SPRINGBOARD to EVEN GREATER ACHIEVEMENTS IN ADULTHOOD.

Look at where the money went

Of every $100 spent, about $40.30 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

Ask these three easy questions

Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $1,172,005 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $234,600 for JIMMY VERRETT (CEO). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
