Programs
Infinite Music Rising StarsTM awards tuition-free individual private and/or small group instrumental and vocal instruction to seventy two (72) students, 2nd through 12th grades, who are evaluated for the award based on academic achievement, musical talent, and financial need. Awards recognize individual musical dedication, allowing students to excel from personalized instruction, and share what they have learned as peer mentors. Instruments are provided students without instruments or in need of repair. Lessons are provided in 10-20 week increments. Students perform in a showcase for friends and family at the end of the lesson cycle. Funded by grants and Infinite Music.

$0 spent$169,350 earned by the program0% of program spendingBe InstrumentalTMworkshops are group mentoring practicums for students enrolled in school band, voice, and related school music programs as well as for aspiring music students outside of band (keyboards, guitar, songwriting, digital engineering/recording, etc.) taught by industry professionals, professional musicians, and music teachers. Accomplished musicians have a unique opportunity to inspire. Infinite Music enlists the support of professional musicians to present workshops and assemblies on technique and the role music has played in their lives. The result: enlightening performances, inspiring talks, and the chance to make a positive impact on young people's lives. This is an exciting new program that we just launched near the end of 2025 with clinics scheduled for the 2026/27 academic school year. As a result of the late start in the year there are no expenses, revenue, or grants attributed to this program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $323k to $488k (+51%).
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.
39% of INFINITE MUSIC FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $4k → $27k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of INFINITE MUSIC FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
INFINITE MUSIC FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 INFINITE MUSIC FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 98% · 2022 100% · 2023 37% — 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.
Where its funders are
62% of INFINITE MUSIC FOUNDATION'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 $60k that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $96k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
