What Reflections Series Inc does
Mission
Reflections series presents solo, chamber and orchestral music along with works of different artistic disciplines, engaging its audiences in combinations of music, text, images, and film. Through its innovative programming, reflections explores the interplay between music and other art forms, and how one creative work can inspire another. Drawing from a wealth of music and art from all over the world and from many modern and historical artistic styles, and with the collaboration of a first-rate ensemble of creative and performing musicians and artists, reflections programs present newly created and existing works that both reflect upon one another and invite the audience to reflect anew on universal themes.reflections continues its mission of presenting audiences with musical, artistic, cultural and educational experiences and creating new audiences for classical music.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
During 2025, reflections series presented original, alllive productions and programs, further increasing the number and variety of our live presentations and continuing our outreach to widen the size and different elements of the local communities who are aware and attend our presentations. We have kept our ticket proces low to make our performances accessible to more members of the community. We also filmed our performances and posted excerpts on our youtube channel in order to reach new and even wider audiences and those who were not able to attend our live performances. Using creative and performing musicians and artists from all artistic disciplines and backgrounds and from various locales including locally, nationally and internationally, reflections series continued its mission of creating new audiences for classical music and the arts through collaborative effort and unique programming.

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 2018 to 2019, from $58k to $2k (−96%).
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.
96% of REFLECTIONS SERIES INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations 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. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $25k → $89k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
REFLECTIONS SERIES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
67% 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 REFLECTIONS SERIES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 84% · 2023 87% — diversifying over time.
“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
67% of REFLECTIONS SERIES 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. Of the $142k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New York, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $286k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
