What Edmonds Driftwood Players Inc does
Mission
Edmonds driftwood players (edp) is a volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit community theatre that serves the community by providing quality live theatre productions and longstanding outreach, education, scholarship, and volunteer programs. By creating a vibrant, accessible community experience, edp has enhanced the culture and quality-of-life in western washington since 1958. Edp is one of the state's oldest continuously operating community theatres and an active member of washington's first certified creative district in edmonds. Edp has a small staff, a board of directors, and a year-round community volunteer program that is open to anyone aged twelve and above. Volunteers donated almost 15,000 hours of their time in support of edp's productions and programs this season. At edp, we take pride in opening our doors to those who are curious or have always wanted to be involved with theatre but never had the chance.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Live theatre productions: : for our 66th season, edp produced four critically acclaimed mainstage productions attended by almost 13,000 ticketholders. Edp's 14th annual festival of shorts, a community favorite, offered eight playwrights from around the world an opportunity to see their unpublished works performed on stage in a festival of short plays. Our new works program featured seven free staged readings of works in progress by local playwrights with talkbacks to allow for audience feedback and discussion. We strive to increase accessibility to our theatre space, with technology, interpreted performances and reduced price and no cost tickets for our patrons.

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 $392k to $483k (+23%).
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: 2022 25% · 2023 20% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
42% of EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS INC’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. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $14k → $31k.
5 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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
EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
90% 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 EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 39% · 2021 64% · 2022 83% · 2023 76% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
50% of EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
75% of EDMONDS DRIFTWOOD PLAYERS INC's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $114k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
