What Rochester Dance Company does
Mission
The organization's mission is to preserve and advance the art form of dance. The organization strives to be a distinctive dance organization that benefits the community by creating meaningful and enjoyable dance productions and to benefit area dancers by providing exceptional training and performance opportunities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2025, the organization offered two artistic dance productions. Peter pan was performed in april at the rochester civic theatre featuring 49 dancers. This was performed for a live audience with three public shows. In december 2025, a full nutcracker production featuring 90 youth dancers and 11 adult performers included special performances for individuals with disabilities, three performances for school age children, and the general public performances. Both productions involve several months of classes and rehearsals, including the opportunity for member dancers to train and receive instruction from professional instructors. With these productions, the organization was able to provide quality local art to over 5,780 adults and children in the southeast minnesota community.

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 2021 to 2022, from $79k to $146k (+85%).
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.
6% of ROCHESTER 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. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $10k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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
ROCHESTER DANCE COMPANY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% 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
98% 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 ROCHESTER DANCE COMPANY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 77% · 2022 97% · 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
97% of ROCHESTER DANCE COMPANY's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
