What Roving Actors Repertory Ensemble Inc does
Mission
RARE Inc. is dedicated to serving our under-served community in Eastern Columbia County of New York State with quality performances of the theatrical & music arts. We enable professional & amateur artists to express their creativity while working & growing together.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
RARE Inc. originally planned to present 3 fully staged theatrical productions: (#1) Deathtrap, a suspense thriller about a playwright and his protégé, (#2) Bathroom Humor, a comedy centered on a house party in a swanky NYC suburb, and (#3) CABARET, the classic Broadway dark drama musical by John Kander & Fred Ebb. All three of these productions were planned to be presented at the intimate Copake Grange Theater in Columbia County NY. However, fate intervened when the COVID-19 pandemic & the associated social distancing restrictions in NY State came into force shortly after our successful February 2020 production of Deathtrap at the Copake Grange Theater. This forced us to cancel the balance of our live in-person music & theater season, including our mainstage productions of Bathroom Humor & Cabaret, our summer murder mystery series, our summer live music performances, and the staged-reading & karaoke night events we had scheduled in collaboration with the Copake Grange. When we were forced to cancel the bulk of our in-person live theater & music season for 2020, we decided that we had to find a way to continue to support our commuity with live theater performances.

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 2018 to 2019, from $17k to $10k (−40%).
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.
58% of ROVING ACTORS REPERTORY ENSEMBLE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $4k → $3k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 ROVING ACTORS REPERTORY ENSEMBLE INC’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
ROVING ACTORS REPERTORY ENSEMBLE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% 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 ROVING ACTORS REPERTORY ENSEMBLE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 88% · 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 95% · 2022 83% · 2023 53% — 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
100% of ROVING ACTORS REPERTORY ENSEMBLE INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
