What Epic Immersive Labs does
Mission
Innovative theatrical experiences
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Epic immersive presents innovative live theatrical experiences where story, spectacle and interaction deliver transcendent, awe-inspiring journeys. In 2021 due to the covid-19 pandemic, Epic Immersive Labs put all plans on hold until it is safe to gather in community again.
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. 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 $30k to $20k (−33%).
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.
34% of EPIC IMMERSIVE LABS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2019: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $30k → $14k.
