Programs
Summer Camp Workshops: Four workshops were held from June to August 2024, benefiting over 100 youth ages 4 to 18. These workshops required the help of production staff and volunteers. Each workshop offered students an opportunity to learn, create and grow - not just in theater, but also in visual arts, writing, public speaking, and teamwork. Curriculum integrates hands-on learning experiences in set design and construction, lighting and sound science, theater management, marketing, and related technical fields. Workshops also offered college students an earned income, to cultivate a new generation of leadership in the performing arts. This program also offered scholarships in the form of discounts to participants who requested financial aid.

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 2018 to 2019, from $447k to $98k (−78%).
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 2% · 2018 25% · 2019 25% · 2020 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% 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 Stage Theatre of County Kitsap.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.

Where its funders are
83% of Central Stage Theatre of County Kitsap'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 $50k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $250k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
