What they do
Friends of Summit Symphony Inc Was Established to Provide Outside Support for The Summit Symphony Orchestra (EIN 26-4102781), A Community Orchestra Which Was A Project of The City of Summit, NJ. The City Has Not Provided Any Funding to The Symphony Since The Financial Crisis of 2008, So Rather Than Maintain Duplicate Organizations Friends of Summit Symphony Took Over The Operation of The Orchestra In 2022. The Friends Classification As A "supporting Organization" By The IRS Has Interfered With Our Ability to Raising Funds, So An Entirely New Organization Has Been Created: Summit Symphony Inc, EIN 93-4284197, Effective August 2024. This is Our Final Return.

Money made simple
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 $2,570 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
