What Harry T Burleigh Society does
Mission
We seek to educate the public about Burleigh's unique contributions in music and support performances of his music.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic's brutal impact on performing artists, the Burleigh Society established a fund to support all of the musicians who have contributed to the organization's public events. This is a population of musicians who lost tens of thousands of dollars in income due to force majeure of their contracts with performing arts institutions throughout the world. The Society put forth matching funds from our budget, and solicited funds from the public through a month long online and phone campaign. The Burleigh Society is proud to have raised funds to distribute a grant of $1,000 to each of the artists on the organisation's roster.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 HARRY T BURLEIGH SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 69% · 2020 59% · 2021 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
95% of HARRY T BURLEIGH SOCIETY'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 $30k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $570k 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.
