During the fiscal year that ended August 31, 2025, the AMFM Board of Directors approved applications for lost work benefits submitted by thirty-five (35) qualified Annapolis area musicians, in the total amount of $29,011. Additionally, $36,000 was granted to six (6) different applicants for catastrophic benefits. During this period and as part of the organizations youth programs, $2,500 in musical and vocal instruction benefits were paid primarily for underserved school-age students. The Board of Directors also approved a total donation of $6,000 to two Annapolis area 501(c)(3) organizations ($3,000 each) for their summer musical education programs so that underserved youth could attend those programs, and awarded $5,000 for a college scholarship to an incoming college freshman from the greater Annapolis area who would be majoring in music performance.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $38k to $93k (+146%).
