Program

All programming ceased in 2022 as the organization prepared to dissolve.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
In 2022, the Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society focused on dissolution. Impact from the pandemic and subsequent challenges with fundraising were primary contributors to the board of directors making this decision, officially voted on and approved november 4. The only programming sfjb sponsored was participation for local jazz musicians in the levitt smithsonian jazz master orchestra program. Completed dissolution activities included payment of all outstanding liabilities of the corporation, and distribution of remaining cash assets and endowment to like charitable organizations per the by-laws. All required articles were provided to the south dakota secretary of state office, with final approval of dissolution february 13, 2023.

The program described on its FY2022 Form 990. Program spending in total: $1,911.
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.
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 $264k to $52k (−80%).
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: 2020 19% · 2021 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
90% 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 SIOUX FALLS JAZZ & BLUES SOCIETY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 59% · 2019 31% · 2020 93% · 2021 98% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
