What they do
DURING THE YEAR, THE STAPLES AREA MENS CHORUS (SAMC) HAD 29 MEMBERS. OUR YEAR STARTED WITH THE LITTLE RED CABOOSE VARIETY SHOW ON AUGUST 15, 2024, IN WHICH WE PERFORMED and ASSISTED BACKSTAGE. 19 MEMBERS PARTICIPATED ALONG WITH 36 OTHER ADULTS and 7 YOUTH PARTICIPANTS and THERE WERE 188 IN ATTENDANCE. "REAL MEN SING" WAS CANCELLED AS WE WERE UNABLE to SECURE A GUEST DIRECTOR for THE FESTIVAL. ANOTHER GOAL of THE FESTIVAL is to HELP HIGH SCHOOL and COLLEGE MUSIC PROGRAMS ATTRACT and RETAIN MALE SINGERS for THEIR CHORAL ENSEMBLES and to HELP THEM REMAIN STRONG and VIBRANT ORGANIZATIONS. REAL MEN SING AIMS to HELP YOUNG MEN FIND THE JOY and RICHNESS THAT SINGING BRINGS to LIFE. DUE to HAVING to CANCEL REAL MEN SING, WE DECIDED to REACH OUT to 3 AREA SCHOOLS and SENT SMALL GROUPS of SINGERS to PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CLASS ROOM ACTIVITIES: PINE RIVER BACKUS HIGH SCHOOL ON OCTOBER 24, 2024 WITH 7 MEMBERS 3 OTHER ADULTS and 29 HIGH SCHOOL and 31 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, THIS CULMINATED WITH BEIN

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
