What Edge Ensemble Theatre Company does
Mission
Our mission is to create a resident professional theatre company based in Keene, NH and to produce the highest caliber theatre that resonates with the heart and truth, while at the same time encourages the artistic and educational growth of our ensemble members and the company.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Edge produced 4 full length, fully produced plays: Winter production was First Look: 3 World Premieres; Spring production was another somewhat unusual program of short stories adapted for the stage, Missed Opportunities; Summer production was a reprised play from 1990, Laughing Wild by Christopher Durang; and the fall production was Misery by William Goldman based on the Stephen King novel. In addition, the edge provided numerous theatre classes for local artists including directing, acting, and script development. Our Founding Executive Artistic Director was awarded an Ewing Award for theatrical artistic excellence in the Monadnock region.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $36k to $53k (+49%).
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.
81% of EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $15k → $23k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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
EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% 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
51% 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 EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 62% · 2022 52% · 2023 100% — 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
51% of EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY'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. Of the $77k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $81k 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.
