What Buntport Theater Company does
Mission
Buntport Theater Company believes that it is necessary to create new works. In order to ensure utmost accessibility, we stress affordability, variety, abundance, and filtering creations through many minds. We believe that collaboration on every level of operation is a strong and vital model for arts organizations.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our 20+ years of experience in developing new work has made us leaders of devised work in the community. We are experts by way of our nearly 100 years of collective experience. Our collaborative working model is a strong one for arts organizations, allowing for the same group of people to work together, all while centering the artist in every decision. We put work into planning our seasons, but are also able to adapt quickly and incorporate current events when necessary. The work that we make grows out of our experiences here and we place great value on that. We always strive for artistic excellence and are invested in challenging ourselves and our audiences. Buntport works non-hierarchically (with a female majority) in all aspects of our business, applying many minds to every challenge. The same group of creatives have been working together this way for over 20 years. An on- going collaboration between the same artists with such prolific output is nearly unheard of in any genre. Our work is consistently praised by media outlets and hopefully serves as inspiration to other groups interested in developing new work. We are passionate about providing affordable entertainment, but not…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $337k to $467k (+39%).
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 14% · 2018 10% · 2019 12% · 2020 15% · 2021 25% · 2022 41% · 2023 13% · 2024 19% · 2025 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
72% of BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $64k → $87k.
5 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 61% · 2019 42% · 2020 33% · 2021 39% · 2022 69% · 2023 57% — broadly stable.
“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–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
57% of BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
67% of BUNTPORT THEATER COMPANY'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 $257k that is directly attributable, 94% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $516k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states 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–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
