Mission
Education: The purpose of Phoenix Orchestra LTD is to engage in performances and other activities aimed at educating the public about classical music as well as promoting and stimulating the public interest in classical music, in particualr with performances and other activities in non-traditional settings.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
"The Chronophone": After all live music was cancelling for the remainder of 2020 Phoenix Orchestra LTD reached its audiences virtually and presented a free series called "The Chronophone" on twitch.tv. Between September 2020-December 2020 Phoenix Orchestra recorded and produced 8 episodes of the Chronophone. Episodes of the Chronophone were virtually presented every 2 weeks for an audience of 25-50 people.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% 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 PHOENIX ORCHESTRA’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
PHOENIX ORCHESTRA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% 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 PHOENIX ORCHESTRA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 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
PHOENIX ORCHESTRA draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k 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.
