What Out on a Limb Dance Company does
Mission
We provide a nurturing and comprehensive training program and we provide full and partial scholarships for families who struggle financially to pay for training. We also offer trade opportunities to lessen the financial burden. Trade families offer to volunteer specialized services such as costuming, or custodial services, in exchange for reduced tuition. We feel it is important to offer trade opportunities to those who are willing to help the organization in appropriate ways. In 2023 we provided $16,147 in scholarships and $32,987 in trade. We also offered 5 performing opportunities: "The Tales and Tails of Dr. Dolittle" was presented at the O'Shaughnessy auditorium, and we served over 1100 students from disadvantaged schools to see the show for free, and we live streamed the show for over 3000 people world wide, catering to juvenile detention centers, nursing homes, schools that were unable to afford the busing to see the show live, and other communities of need.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.

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 2020 to 2021, from $12k to $5k (−56%).
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 0% · 2021 12% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
13% of Out on a Limb Dance Company’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 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
2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $11k → $13k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% 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 on a Limb Dance Company’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
Out on a Limb Dance Company leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 Out on a Limb Dance Company.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 99% · 2021 64% · 2022 98% · 2023 99% — 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
70% of Out on a Limb Dance Company'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. Of the $22k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Minnesota, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $53k 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.
