As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
FY25 featured a variety of presentations of What is Essential and Who Am I Know at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at The University of Illinois, Rutgers University, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Boston Architectural College, The University of Rochester, and Hofstra University. Heidi Latsky shared her recent journey through the iscovery, surgery, and recovery from a benign brain tumor that had been there for 20 years. What makes her story compelling is that 55 years ago her mother had the same meningioma and she, like her daughter now, was a vital part of her mothers support system. continued on Schedule O

In early 2024, Artistic Director and Founder, Heidi Latsky, recently experienced a major life change. She learned that she had been living with a benign brain tumor for nearly twenty years. Much of the tumor has since been removed. The experience has deeply impacted her life and work. Before the diagnosis Heidi felt severe exhaustion and lost olfactory functioning. Since the surgery, the damage has affected executive functioning, mood, taste and smell, and caused falls and a seizure. Continued on Schedule O

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 2023 to 2024, from $310k to $209k (−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.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 19% · 2020 29% · 2021 23% · 2022 47% · 2023 37% · 2024 35% · 2025 40%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of LATSKY DANCE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% 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.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 4 funders, grant income fell $193k → $7k.
3 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 LATSKY DANCE INC’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
LATSKY DANCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 26% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
33% 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 LATSKY DANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 63% · 2019 28% · 2020 50% · 2021 37% · 2022 92% · 2023 57% — 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.
How long its funders stay
25% of LATSKY DANCE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% give in more than one year at all.
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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
62% of LATSKY DANCE INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99k 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.
