What Soho Think Tank Inc does
Mission
To nurture, strengthen, and promote an aesthetically and culturally diverse community of independent theatre artists and theatre companies by producing, presenting and programming new work at the New Ohio Theatre located in Manhattan's West Village.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
With the closing of the Christopher Street space Aug.31, 2023 we are no longer d.b.a as New Ohio Theatre, and are now operating as Soho Think Tank (our actual 501.c.3 incorporated name).In September we produced the Downtown Upstate festival, bringing the best of NYC downtown theatre artists to the Hudson Valley, featuring three different shows at two different venues over three consecutive weekends. Downtown Upstate also included a solo performance workshop for local residents. Presented by Ancram Center for the Arts & Stissing Center (Pine Plains).

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $116,820.
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 2022 to 2023, from $337k to $169k (−50%).
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: 2017 19% · 2018 18% · 2019 19% · 2020 21% · 2021 48% · 2022 36% · 2023 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
45% of SOHO THINK TANK 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. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $13k → $23k.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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 SOHO THINK TANK 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
SOHO THINK TANK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 80% · 2020 100% · 2021 43% · 2022 52% · 2023 67% — 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.
How long its funders stay
40% of SOHO THINK TANK INC's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 44% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
SOHO THINK TANK INC draws 63% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
