Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Provide for the enlightment and entertainment of the public through the production, presentation and advancement of a cappella music (all styles plus preservation of barbershop style).

  • In 2024, the Mile High Chapter maintained a full performance, travel and competition schedule, with three shows at the University of Denvers Newman Center for the Performing Arts including a musical version of the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Reaching out to the next generation of singers, the chapter provided a free youth camp at Mapleton Arts Center in Thornton, Colorado followed by an evening concert. The spring and fall (Cheyenne, Wyoming) Rocky Mountain District conventions and Harmony University (Denver in July) gave members opportunities for performance, education and competition. In the fall, the chapters Ready Set Sing program offered free voice lessons to engage the wider community and cultivate new talent. The Sound of the Rockies chorus scored first in the Rocky Mountain District competition again. The Sound of the Rockies and the Timberliners choruses performed at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July and the Sound of the Rockies placed 8th out of 34 choruses in the international competition, which included choruses from around the world.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
