ExplanationGrants are awarded by two selected adjudicators at the public Graduation Recital for the Opera Studio. Grant checks are made directly to the award recipient's university for use toward education expenses. If funds are not so used, the university refunds unused portions back to HGO Association. Grants are also given to help with the costs of college application, etc. Alumni grants are given to ex studio members to help these artists continue to train in their first few years out of the Studio, when cash flow can be particularly difficult.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Organization Mission:Houston Grand Opera's vision is to inspire opera's future. Our mission is to advance the operatic art to serve an ever-evolving audience. We will produce great operatic works that create and sustain a new American art form and fuse them with historical repertoire to inspire the next generations of opera lovers-both in our own community and globally through technology. The Core Values of Houston Grand Opera: We believe opera has a vital role to play in the lives of an audience hungry for art, beauty, and meaning. Diversity is no longer just a poetic reference, but a joyous cultural reality the company fully embraces. HGO will honor the classic masterworks but also evolve the art form to serve future generations. We believe our creative dreams for Houston Grand Opera are vital to the cultural pulse of this city and add immeasurably to the quality of life of its many communities. All cultures use words and music to tell their distinct stories, and we have the ability to use opera as a connector to join those communities. HGO seeks to be a global leader in the evolution of the art form, by inspiring it, developing it, training people to deliver it, documenting it, and most importantly, composing it. We will identify and train the next generation of gifted artistic, creative and leadership talent who will create opera's future.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors consists of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Senior Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Houston Grand Opera Endowment, Inc., the individual or individuals serving in the Office of the General Director, and the Chairs (but not Vice Chairs or Co-Chairs) of all the Standing Committees of the Board of Directors; provided that, at all times, a majority of the members of the Executive Committee shall be members, or ex officio members, of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee shall exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business of the Association, including the Association's membership in any subsidiary or affiliated non-profit corporation or the Association's stockholding of any business corporation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1All of the directors listed in Part VII have a single vote with respect to matters that come before the governing body except for the Managing/General Director and Artistic & Music Director who share a single vote. According to the By Laws, regardless of whether two individuals are serving in the Office of the General Director, the Office of the General Director (Managing Director and Artistic & Music Director) shall have a single vote in any meeting of the Trustees, Board of Directors, or Executive Committee, where the Office of the General Director is present. Therefore, even though there are 47 directors serving at the end of the tax year listed in Part VII, there are only 46 voting members of the governing body listed in Part I and Part VI. Similarly, although there are three directors listed in Part VII who receive compensation, because two share a single vote, there are considered to be 2 voting members which are not independent.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bManagement reviews the 990 and the Audit Committee and Board of Directors receive a copy before filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cAt the beginning of each fiscal year, each member of the board and every officer is provided a copy of the conflict of interest statement to complete. Reminders to complete the form are sent as needed and copies of the statement are provided at board meetings.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15For the Office of the General Director, which includes the Managing Director and Artistic and Music Director, the Executive Committee met to discuss employee performance and compensation details and performed an annual compensation review. Any available data for comparison with other similar top management officials was provided for the Executive Committee's review. The compensation of the Chief Advancement Officer and the Chief Financial Officer was evaluated through the same annual review process as the rest of the employees of the Company.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Upon request.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a:Molly Dill was compensated by the organization in her role as Producing Director and not as a voting member of the governing body.
