What Colorado Repertory Singers does
Mission
Colorado Repertory Singers (CRS) is a Broomfield, CO based choral organization that provides an excellent concert experience by presenting a diverse repertoire of fine choral works. CRS provides singers of all ages an environment that encourages musical growth and fosters a sense of community among its membership. Our organization provides for the education, cultural enlightenment, and entertainment of the public through the presentation of choral music, while also providing our singers an environment that encourages personal musical growth and continuing access to a full range of vocal works. The choir recognizes the need to bridge generations and afford mentoring opportunities to young singers if a viable heritage of diverse vocal works is to remain for future generations to enjoy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Colorado Repertory Singers (the choir), based in Broomfield, Colorado, performed four concert cycles during the 2023-2024 season. In addition to our annual holiday concert in December, the choir collaborated with the Colorado Korean Chorus (https://www.ckchorus.org/) for a cross-cultural perfomance and social reception in October 2023, an educational collaboration with students from three high school choirs from the Colorado Springs area in March 2024, and a celebration of traditional and modern music from the stage and screen in May 2024.

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 2023 to 2024, from $54k to $85k (+57%).
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.
58% of COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $9k → $27k.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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
COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 99% · 2022 98% · 2023 99% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $128k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
