Part V, Line 3b Our 501 c 3 non-profit organization bascially runs a series of part time summer music and dance camps on a lake in Maine. This over night program includes food and lodging with cabins, tents and RVs included. Other than some grant funds given to our organization ($15,000) our revenue is coming from tuition paid by campers. Many scholarships are awarded and the cost for our program, which includes musicians of all ages and levels of ability, is very low cost and basic. Most of our expenses are part time fees for our teachers, administration, rent of the facility, equipment, and food. Three officers run the organization with 10-12 on our advisory board. Over the years we have saved up some for use whenever the opportunity arises to acquire our own fsacilty. Much of our labor is volunteer, helping to keep the cost down. Our work is very part time and seasonal. None of the teachers or contractors make more that $3500, most less than. I volunteered my services as camp director and treasurer in 2022, but usually i earn around $25,000, as do my assistants Bill Olson and Jo-Anne Bouthot,who earn less usually. Because of COVID our administration costs were greater than usual due to testing and verifying vacinations. 50 plus scholarships awared, some volunteer work related and some out of need. We are totally non-political, but we do avocate inclusivity and tolerance of all people and respect for everyone. We attempt to create an ideal community, multi-generational, and supportive of each other and our musical goals. Part VI, Line 19 All information is open to all requests, compete transparency upon rerquest. Part XI, Line 9 990s and all information is available upon request and reviewed by any board member or advisory board member. We run four camp sessions, two in June and two in August. Our teachers earn $1000 per week, $200 a day and are highly skilled musicians and educators, all on a part time contractor basis and properly reported with W-2s-W-3. We process more than 1000 campers over twenty days and four separate sessions, averaging 200-300 per session. Our motto is "Twice the program at half the price", as compared to comparable programs of traditional music and dance in the non-commercial folk music realm. I am sure most of our competitors are non-profits as well. We have no debt and accumulate cash assets each year for a Rainy day/building fund, and are able to save $20-25,000 a year on average. We also did virtual camps during Covid and successfully ran on $25 donations, but now back at our normal real live camps. We accomplish inspiring education at a very low cost, using local talent, food, and resources. Section C All information regarding MTMA is available to anyone upon request.
