What National Homeschool Music Ensembles Inc does
Mission
NHME is a charitable organization organized to advance arts education. NHME provides low-cost and admission-free music education and ensemble experiences for homeschool students, including instrument lessons, vocal training, music theory, music history, and performance opportunities. NHME requested by letter a change to its NTEE designation from code B90 (education services) to a more accurate A25 (arts education) code. NHME does not operate a resale business; instruments purchased for program use are held as program assets.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Ensemble and Performance Program - weekly rehearsals and seasonal admission-free concerts that provide ensemble training and public performance experience. During the year, NHME held two admission-free community concerts, performed at LIFE Homeschool Co-Op's Commencement Ceremony at no charge, and conducted 378 ensemble rehearsal-classes. Total concert attendance estimated at 430 attendees. Program service expenses are shown in Part-1 and include venue rental fees and moving truck costs at $2,484.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2025 to 2026, from $92k to $219k (+137%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 NATIONAL HOMESCHOOL MUSIC ENSEMBLES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
100% of NATIONAL HOMESCHOOL MUSIC ENSEMBLES INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k 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.
