What International Fringe Festival of Central Florida Inc does
Mission
The mission of the orlando fringe is to provide an accessible, affordable outlet that draws diverse elements of the community together and inspires creative experiences through the arts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In february 2025 the yearround theatre artspace located at 54 w. Church street was closed. With this closure, we only have 3 events that we program throughout the year and we are no longer paying artists, rent, utilities or payroll for the items associated with this location.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The purpose of the organization is to host the annual orlando fringe theater festival held in orlando, florida. This event attracts approximately 72,000 attendees over a 14-day period. The organization provides venues and supporting services for the performing artists.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,521,083.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $334k to $865k (+159%).
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: 2018 18% · 2019 17% · 2020 55% · 2021 40% · 2022 28% · 2023 24% · 2024 28% · 2025 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
41% of INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL OF CENTRAL FLORIDA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 61% · 2019 86% · 2020 83% · 2021 93% · 2022 94% · 2023 76% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $35k 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.
