Mission
The Ballet Academy of St. Petersburg is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to provide accessible, high-quality classical ballet and dance education to individuals of all ages, regardless of financial means. Through low-cost tuition, scholarships, and outreach, we serve a diverse population with an emphasis on youth development, artistic excellence, and community enrichment. We produce full-length performances, offer seasonal intensives, and bring free programming to schools, senior centers, and underserved communities. Our mission is supported by tuition, grants, donations, and sponsorships.

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
