What Contemporary Dance Arts Inc does
Mission
The mission of shapiro & smith dance is to make contemporary choreography accessible to a wide range of audiences embracing equity and inclusivity in all our activities. By promoting awareness of movement, dance and non- verbal language's influence in our lives, we open doors to communication. In making dance accessible we seek to demystify it, providing an articulator of culture, an outlet for feelings, a forum for exploration of ideas.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Cultural & educational performances in dance
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
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 2018 to 2019, from $42k to $10k (−76%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $25k → $79k.
