Programs
Central florida community choir is a non-auditioned, volunteer choir comprised of singers 18+ from throughout central florida. The choir includes men and women of all ethnicities, ranging from late teens to early 80's, and includes professional singers as well as those who joyfully sign as a hobby. So membership is easily accessible, concurrent rehearsals are held several nights at separate community areas. To keep as affordable as possible, membership dues are kept to minimum, with payment plans and scholarships offered as needed. Each season culminates in full-scale productions throughout the year. Ticket prices are kept at a bare minimum so the arts are accessible to as many patrons as possible, which includes producing concerts with free admission. The choir continually gives back to the community by serving other nonproft organizations with volunteer performances at their respective fundraisers and special events.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $1.3M to $717k (−46%).
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: 2020 7% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $88k → $283k.
8 of 36 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
CENTRAL FLORIDA COMMUNITY ARTS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
84% 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 CENTRAL FLORIDA COMMUNITY ARTS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 53% · 2019 46% · 2020 72% · 2021 69% · 2022 69% · 2023 83% — growing more concentrated.

25% of CENTRAL FLORIDA COMMUNITY ARTS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $261k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
