Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To diversify participation in opera through the mentorship of emerging operatic writers and the development of new works.

  • COMPOSER LIBRETTIST DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (CLDP) - MENTORSHIP: ALT offered its nationally acclaimed training program for emerging operatic writers through a combination of remote and in person classes and workshops. Twelve artists received training under the auspices of the program.

    Expenses $134,708

  • COMPOSER LIBRETTIST DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - COMMISSIONS: ALT continued the development of 3 commissioned operas: TEVYE'S DAUGHTERS, by Evan Meier and Stephanie Fleischmann; SHE WHO DARED by Jasmine Barnes and Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton; and WORKING FOR THE MACBETHS, by Johanny Navarro and Marcus Yi. (6 artists were served directly by the commissioning program).

    Expenses $56,143 · Revenue $8,938

  • COMPOSER LIBRETTIST DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - WORKSHOPS: ALT held developmental workshops for operas commissioned by the company under the auspices of the Composer Librettist Development Program. These orchestral workshops were carried out to provide artists with the resources necessary to further develop their operas in progress. Public performances took place at The DiMenna Center for Classical Music in Manhattan; and these performances were also recorded and shared for free via social media. (150 in person, over 500 individuals viewed workshop programming online)

    Expenses $120,217 · Revenue $10,367

  • DIGITAL PROGRAMS: The Aria Access Project increases awareness of and access to arias by diverse, contemporary American composers and librettists whose scores remain largely unpublished. This online hub includes arias from works that have recently received their premieres, as well as from operas for which the premieres are forthcoming. 20 different arias are available for free download as PDFs for educational and audition purposes. (The AAP was used by 469 people)

    Expenses $15,024

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

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

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.

What this page reflects
