What Shoreline Ringers Inc does
Mission
To promote handbell ringing as an art form
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The main accomplishments were handbell concerts throughout the community. During the year, we had more than 12 performances throughout New England ranging in audience sizes from about 20 to over 600.
$2,174 spent19% of program spendingMembers of the organization attended conferences to connect with other musicians in the area and work to better accomplish the mission. This includes one member attending a national0level event and others attending two different regional events.
$2,203 spent19% of program spendingThe organization purchased new handbells of a different make and style. These handbells enhanced the ability to achieve the primary exempt purpose by adding another dimension to the organization performances starting in the next fiscal year.
$7,359 spent63% of program spending
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $11,737. The per-program figures do not add up to the total the return states; both are shown as filed.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $61k to $72k (+18%).
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.
62% of SHORELINE RINGERS 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
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $136 → $6k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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
SHORELINE RINGERS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% 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
70% 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 SHORELINE RINGERS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 76% · 2022 98% · 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $580 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
