Programs
Nruthya Vaibhava(Vijayadashami) - A Celebration of Learning and PerformanceNrithya Vaibhava is PAMPA Dance Academy's annual showcase that celebrates the dedication, growth, and artistic journey of its students. The event features traditional Bharatanatyam and Katha dance performances, presented by students ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Every performance reflects the knowledge, discipline, and skills the students have developed through their training.More than just a stage performance, Nrithya Vaibhava is an important part of each student's learning experience. Performing on stage builds confidence, develops stage presence, and introduces students to the technical and theatrical aspects of a professional production, including rehearsals, coordination, costumes, lighting, and audience engagement.A unique highlight of the program is that, in selected pieces, students not only dance but also recite the rhythmic syllables and compositions, deepening their understanding of rhythm, expression, and the connection between music and movement. This holistic approach strengthens their appreciation of the art form while enhancing their performance skills.For every PAMPA student,…

The 2 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2022 to 2023, from $280k to $410k (+46%).
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.
100% of PAMPA’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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 1 funder, grant income rose $5 → $55.
2 of 2 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 PAMPA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 1 of 2 funders by total. 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 PAMPA'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. $88 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.
