Programs
RODEO CINEMA - Oklahoma City's first independent film art house theatre in 2018, audience members have found that Rodeo Cinema vills the void for thought provoking and enlightening film discussions and entertainment. Films which would previously have skipped over the Oklahoma City market are finding a home at Rodeo Cinema further developing the cultural landscape of our city.

The first partnership through ITVs and PBS connected to the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma, the University of Oklahoma, local PBS affiliate OETA, and the Oklahoma Film and Music Office. Through these partnerships, we were able to provide our audience with unique opportunities to participate in panel discussions, small group discussions, and events using film as a medium for discussion and Community awareness.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $179k to $402k (+125%).
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: 2021 28% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
49% of RODEO CINEMA FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
