Programs
During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, Bloomington Early Music hosted 12 free public concerts in association with the 2025 Bloomington Early Music Festival, our large annual event. In addition to these concerts, held both live in Bloomington, Indiana and virtually online, the festival included 5 community workshops and an educational happy hour on historical ties between music and drink. This year's festival focused on Early Music and the African Diaspora, exploring by and for enslaved Black Africans and their descendants over more than four centuries and across three continents. The festival also included the second iteration of our New Neighbors Art Exhibit, a partnership with Exodus Refugee Immigration Inc. A few weeks before the festival, we welcomed children ages 5 to 15 along with their families for a day of making art, which was then displayed in our performance venues throughout the festival itself. The festival's concerts also included a community showcase featuring a variety of local performers and the culminating performance by the students of the Bloomington Early Music Immersion Program.
$52,123 spentof which $39,168 as grants42% of program spendingBloomington Early Music provides fiscal sponsorship to three organizations, which are grouped together here. Bloomington Bach Cantata Project (BBCP) and Alchymy Viols are local ensembles, both of which provide regular free performances. The BBCP performs 6 cantata concerts each year modeled on those led by J.S. Bach in the 18th century. Alchymy Viols is a viol consort that performs across Indiana. The third organization for which we provide fiscal sponsorship is the Indiana Hurdy-Gurdy Workshop, a week-long residential workshop where participants learn about performing a particular type of early musical instrument. Attendees of the workshop paid a registration fee and housing costs. Because this workshop takes place in September, registrations cross fiscal years. The September 2025 workshop had 23 attendees.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $60k to $85k (+42%).
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.
90% of EARLY MUSIC ASSOCIATES INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (73% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k 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.
