What Christian Performance Theatre Inc does

Mission

Christian Performance Theatre Inc (cpt) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization designed for educational purposes in the performing arts. Specifically, an after-school program whereby students train in voice, drama, dance, improvisation, musical theatre, and more.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The local community is vital to the ongoing mission. While there is no commercial office space, limited resources are used to lease space for classrooms, rehearsals, performances, prop and costume storage, and warehouses where sets are constructed and stored. Currently there are 3 programs, camps, classes & enrollment shows, and show productions. Summer camps: camps and workshops are offered during the summer months, mixing games, summer fun, and opportunities for learning and growth in theatrical skills. Each camp ends with the campers performing in a music theatre showcase for families, friends, and local community patrons. Workshops held on june 16, july 11, july 25 had 35, 16, and 10 participants respectively. Kids camp (ages 5 to 12) was held june 23-27 and had 129 campers. Theme was dare to dream jr. Teen camp (ages 13 to 18) was held july 14-18 and had 52 campers. Theme was songs from shows that we probably will never put on stage

  3. Shows: during the fall and spring sessions, students ages 8 to 18 can audition for a broadway-style fully-staged production. Those choosing not to audition or if not cast, are encouraged to take part in the production by way of ushering, working backstage, assisting with props, or helping in the hair, makeup, and/or technical areas. Parent volunteers are a critical part in offering high-quality productions that have become the hallmark of the organization. Near the end of the session, four show productions are performed for the public. For the 2025 season, 126 cast members participated in two shows: in the spring, charlie and the chocolate factory and in the fall, irving berlins holiday inn. The cast rehearsed for a 10 to 12 week period which concluded with four performances for each, with approximately 5,100 audience members.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $19k → $7k.

6 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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 CHRISTIAN PERFORMANCE THEATRE INC’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

CHRISTIAN PERFORMANCE THEATRE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 66%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

38% 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 CHRISTIAN PERFORMANCE THEATRE INC.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $52k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
