What they do
Upstart Crows of Santa Fe Has Been Organized As An Educational Theatre Group for Young People Age 11-18 With A Focus On Understanding and Performing The Works of William Shakespeare. Our Mission is to Help Santa Fe Youth Experience The Plays First-hand Exploring Shakespeares Language and Meaning With The Help of Experienced Directors. Studies Have Shown That Engaging With These Plays Boosts Self-reflection and Creative Thinking. During This Last Year We Have Performed Over 10 Performances of Shakespeares Plays Including Hamlet Midsummer Nights Dream King Henry IV Part 1 As Well As 4 Workshops. We Have Reached Out to The Public School System and Have Worked With 10 School Programs Here In Santa Fe and Bernalilo Counties. All Youth Enrolling Do Not Need to Audition to Be In The Program. Approximately 50 Different Youths Were Involved During The Year.

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.
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.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
