What Piano & More does
Mission
Piano & More's mission is to provide our community with a fun and contemporary approach to education, opportunity, and events concerning the musical arts. Our vision is to: Offer practical and useful training for aspiring musicians and educators, Provide quality music education for children and adults at all levels and ages, Make creative opportunities available for local musicians and educators, Create a local musical community that engages in events and networking, Build a sponsorship program where students in title one schools can also receive our services, Provide instruments to our sponsored students, and Bring our community together with music and art. Services are either performed in person or virtually.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Our mission is to make music education fun and accessible to all people, no matter age or background. In 2025, we served approximately 160 students through our private music lesson program, offering in-home instruction in piano, voice, guitar, and other instruments throughout Arlington, Falls Church, and McLean. Piano & More hosted over 25 community music events, including Open Mics, Musical Field Trips, and Recitals, along with several teacher engagement events throughout the year. These music events continue to support our mission by creating meaningful opportunities for students to perform, build confidence, and connect with others through music, while also strengthening our teacher community. We also continued our community outreach program, Play It Forward, in partnership with Title I schools in Virginia. This program has been operating since 2019 and provides students with weekly private piano lessons and piano books at no cost. We are grateful to continue offering this access, as piano is not typically available in public schools and private lessons can be financially out of reach for many families.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2024 to 2025, from $19k to $38k (+98%).
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 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
4% of Piano & More’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% 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 Piano & More’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
Piano & More leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% 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
46% 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 Piano & More.
“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 Piano & More's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k 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.
