What Dorset Park Skating Association Inc does
Mission
To promote recreational opportunities and operate, manage and maintain public ice skating arenas in south burlington, vermont.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
December 31, 2023 was the twenty-eighth full year of operation of the c. Douglas cairns arena by the dorset park skating association (dpsa). Residents from many neighboring communities within chittenden county as well as elsewhere throughout vermont took advantage of the many services that were made available to them such as rental of ice time, general public skating, and rental and sales of skating equipment. Percentage of ice time usage can be summarized as follows: hockey related activities 77%, group rentals 12%, contract rentals 5%, and public skating 6%. In addition to ice rental the total revenue included $8,825 generated from locker room fees

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,295,871.
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 2019 to 2020, from $3.6M to $6.1M (+68%).
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 12% · 2021 13% · 2022 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
2% of DORSET PARK SKATING ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 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.
From the IRS filings of DORSET PARK SKATING ASSOCIATION 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.
Where its funders are
100% of DORSET PARK SKATING ASSOCIATION INC'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. $300k 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. 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.
