What Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center does
Mission
Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center is dedicated to the music and culture of the people of Zimbabwe
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Events and classes dedicated to studying and sharing the music and culture of Zimbabwe. Total student enrollment is 75-100 per year. Artist-in-Residence Program has the dual goals of bringing authentic, accomplished Zimbabwean musicians and music teachers to teach and interact with its members and with members of the public, and to help promote these Zimbabwean musicians in their teaching and performing careers, thus enabling them to keep these unique styles alive and available to the public. In practical terms, the program requires Kutsinhira to fund and provide room, board and local transportation for its guests, and arrange their travel and VISA applications. The Zimbabwe Community Development Programs was initiated to provide support for community health and education efforts in Zimbabwe. The program grew out of close musical and personal connections that Kutsinhira members developed with their Zimbabwean teachers and friends. Kutsinhira raises funds for the program through concerts featuring Zimbabwean music and artists, related merchandise sales and donations to support community development projects in Zimbabwe.c

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.
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 $26k to $36k (+38%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
91% 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 KUTSINHIRA CULTURAL ARTS CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 91% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $426 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
