What Out Loud Inc does
Mission
Out Loud Chorus is a mixed LGBTQ plus choir from Washtenaw County in Michigan. This means that we are a chorus of people of all genders. Many of us identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, although we are open to everyone who loves to sing and has an open mind. We are committed to putting on musically excellent shows that are entertaining and fun for our audiences. Because we are a non-auditioned chorus, our rehearsals teach both the songs we will perform and vocal techniques to sing them well. Each season, we produce shows for the general public. These productions are typically held on two successive weekend nights in both mid-January and mid-May.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Two concert series, one in January and one in June, plus non-concert performances at various fairs and events as well as performances for local churches and other community organizations. The January concert series had 130 performers and approximately 921 people in the audience, including 705 people in person and 216 who viewed our performances online. The May concert series had about 113 performers and approximately 629 people in the audience, including 473 in person and 156 who viewed our performances online.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $58k to $53k (−9%).
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.
50% of OUT LOUD INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $60 → $84.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 OUT LOUD 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.
Where its funders are
100% of OUT LOUD 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. $361 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.
