What String Insiders does
Mission
String Insiders' mission is to inspire violin, viola, and cello students through online and in-person connections to teachers, peers, and a wealth of information that challenges and encourages them in their growth as a musician and helps them achieve the career of their dreams by being innovators, artists, and entrepreneurs. String Insiders serves over 200 students a year with the programs for high achieving students. Based in Dallas, Texas, the programs serves musicians across the world both online and in-person at our one- and two-week programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Online Solo Strings Intensive (OSSI) is a two-week-long program for classical music students approximately 15-28 years old. Students will take part in daily workshops/seminars as well as receive private lessons, watch or participate in masterclasses, and play in studio classes. The Intensive's goals are not only to expand the musical knowledge and prowess of each participant, but to deepen their understanding of classical music through seminars and workshops and to connect serious musicians across the globe to each other by facilitating a robust environment for developing classical musicians. OSSI is conducted online, bridging the gap for low-income students and significantly reducing costs for musicians to be able to study intensely with the best professors in the United States. The curriculum focuses on the technical ability required for musicians, and the other skills needed to create a successful career, such as health & wellness, chamber music, time management, and more.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $3k to $364 (−85%).
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.
0% of STRING INSIDERS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
77% 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 STRING INSIDERS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
