What Sangre de Cristo Chorale does
Mission
To perform choral music in a variety of venues that will make a significant artistic and cultural contribution to local communities in northern new mexico, particularly young people.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The chorale's long history of contribution to the community was seriously threatened by the covid-19 (hereafter c19) pandemic. Although most arts activities are challenged in their own ways by c19, choral groups are particularly challenged because the act of singing itself is a potent vehicle for spread of the virus, and in normal rehearsals and performances both the singers and members of the audience are in close proximity to each other. It is no exaggeration to say that the survival of the Sangre de Cristo Chorale in the face of c19 required a complete reconfiguration, at least in the near term, of how the chorale meets its mission and serves the community. The Sangre de Cristo Chorale survived this year of complete reconfiguration by shifting to all virtual activities. The chorale's music director and accompanists designed a program of activities that included twice- monthly video presentations to the community on youtube with both individual member and group presentations ,as well as bi-monthly educational activities and social occasions on zoom to connect our community during these challenging times. They also prepared and recorded a solo voice recital that was also shared…
$58,439 spent100% of program spendingUnder the leadership of music director dr. George case, the Sangre de Cristo Chorale expanded our membership, increased the range and challenge of our repertoire, increased our budget to cover a fourth concert repertory, finished the year with a surplus, and consistently performed at high levels to enthusiastic sold-out audiences. We are continuing to employ a new financial model that enables us to broaden the chorale membership in age, experience and economic circumstances. The year end surplus allowed us to increase our cash reserve and move forward with planning for future seasons with confidence. The chorale opened its season on october 19-20, 2024, with james whitbourn's oratorio "annelies." based on the words of "anne frank: the diary of a young girl," the voices and instruments of "annelies" reflect anne's jewish and german heritage and sounds she might have heard in hiding. The chorale's winter concerts, "ceremony of carols" performed on december 6-7, 2024, featured benjamin britten's "ceremony of carols- and carols by bob chilcott and john rutter. "jubilee," performed on march 8, 2025, was a concert that brought together the powerful voices of america's black composers.…

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 $17k to $43k (+154%).
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.
65% of SANGRE DE CRISTO CHORALE’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 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $6k → $16.
3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SANGRE DE CRISTO CHORALE’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
SANGRE DE CRISTO CHORALE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 61% 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
100% 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 SANGRE DE CRISTO CHORALE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 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
100% of SANGRE DE CRISTO CHORALE'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k 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.
