Programs
The mission of MUSYCA Childrens Choir is to provide the highest quality of music education to Children and Youth of all religious ethnic cultural and economic backgrounds through study and performance of outstanding choral repertoire. MUSYCA is dedicated to diversity access and service to the community. Our community faces the poverty and hardship on a daily basis. Most of the families served by our organization are first or second generation immigrants who came to the US to escape religious persecution. They came to this country without any means for survival without savings and with no English language skills. The majority of the students come from the low-income families and attend Title I public schools. MUSYCA is the only music education program available to them. MUSYCA work tirelessly to provide a bright future for the children through arts education provide them with opportunities for leadership and growth and assist the needy families.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $432k to $595k (+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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 25% · 2021 30% · 2022 19% · 2023 25% · 2024 10% · 2025 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
29% of MUSYCA’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (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 $1k → $62k.
From the IRS filings of MUSYCA’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
MUSYCA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
40% 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 MUSYCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 69% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
