The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 31% · 2018 26% · 2019 29% · 2020 26% · 2021 42% · 2022 34% · 2023 33% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
7% of THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (28% for the typical peer).

From the CRA filings of THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 88% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 98% · 2019 93% · 2020 91% · 2021 80% · 2022 88% · 2023 86% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
88% of THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the C$28k that is directly attributable, 99% of it comes from funders outside British Columbia, across 4 regions.
In-province vs out-of-province, by year
Funder regions come from each funder’s own filing. C$209k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 region is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024 is still being filed and is shown unshaded; it does not move any figure on this page.
