Heh, hard to believe that we're a month or so away from THAT being seven years ago. Geesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And second thought is USBands has its own expenses and might not have that much excess revenue. Third thought... are Cadets, YEA and USBands non profits? Might have an impact on shifting money I am not sure they are set up as separate corporate entities. I think they are all under the YEA corporate entity. If I recall, there was one I990 form for all of YEA,, not separate forms for the individual components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the vision changed after that once it took off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have operating budgets, but it is all under YEA from a corporate standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From their (YEA!) 2017 990, USBands delivered about $700k of profit and Cadets operated at about $700k in the red. I would have to look at more years to see if that holds up, but given their current financial woes, I’m not sure if that’s even meaningful today. The 2018 1099 only covered three months and was the dead time of year (Jan-Mar), so it mostly show expenses with no revenue.

I'm TOTALLY convinced that all revenue from all of the YEA! entities are included in the 990s for the master entity, YEA!.org. All of the entities' various incomes, and YEA! expenses, are allocated to each entity and reported on the YEA! 990. The percentages of total income is clear and the expenses are identified, and updated with supplemental filings. For whatever discussion happens here, I'm operating under the presumption that each program is a separate entity, operating under separate budgets (likely) and responsible for their own P&L and considered expendable if not adding revenue to the bottom line of YEA!. Reading that, and the mission statement of YEA!, I would have to conclude that the Cadets program offering is "expendable". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly as many kids served, for not nearly as much of a financial "loss". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper, I’d agree that the program is expendable. But everyone knows that YEA! is The Cadets and it gives YEA! a marque status, until recently. If they can’t repair the band competitions / participation loss, the organization will likely fold. They know this and are likely working to repair the losses. IMO, the biggest looming threat is if Hopkins wins the severance pay lawsuit. Insurance won’t cover that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had said the mission was to make magnificent human beings by running a highly competitive DCI corps come hell or high water, then it would be clear. Without that, they need a BOD with majority Cadet alumni (currently 4 of 7) to ensure the corps remains the priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
