Programs
Our 12th annual da de los muertos production, macario by evelina fernndez with music by russell rodrguez, over 2600 community members from our local area and beyond, maintaining our presence in the region as a unique and important voice in bilingual theater. As with all of our da de muertos productions, macario provided a rare spanish-language theatergoing opportunity for our community, while remaining accessible to english- and spanish-speakers alike through our bilingual open caption program. Performances also included a sold-out student matinee welcoming 500 k-12 students and chaperones attending at steeply discounted rates. Nearly 25% of student matinee tickets were fully subsidized, and nearly 400 students from local title I schools were able to attend. Captions in english and spanish were provided at live performances, and asl interpretation was provided at two performances. For the first time, we offered asl interpretation at our student matinee, making it possible for two local schools for the deaf to participate. By bringing people together to reflect on their shared cultural heritage and to engage in a participatory arts experience, macario continued to improve…
$179,365 spent$39,270 earned by the program43% of program spendingOur youth production, sandra cisneross the house on mango street, reached over 1600 audience members and served as the culmination of our annual intro and intensive bilingual teatro training program for youth ages 10-18. For the house on mango street, we offered our signature participatory workshops as pre-show workshops for schools attending our student matinee. Alongside that production, we produced a community-building program, poetry, power, and place in collaboration with the culture counts reading series at sjsu, which promoted community belonging and a positive sense of cultural identity through community poetry-writing and storytelling workshops based on cisneross novel. Through a new bilingual after-school teatro program in partnership with audacity performing arts, our artists staged francisco jimnezs la mariposa with students at a local school. Our classes, youth production, and after school program provided bilingual creative and cultural mentorship for 35 young people.

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 2023 to 2024, from $518k to $815k (+57%).
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 17% · 2018 23% · 2019 23% · 2020 25% · 2021 34% · 2022 26% · 2023 51% · 2024 28% · 2025 26%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of TEATRO VISION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 8 funders, grant income rose $5k → $213k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 TEATRO VISION’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
TEATRO VISION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
59% 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 TEATRO VISION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 84% · 2019 45% · 2020 40% · 2021 40% · 2022 23% · 2023 31% — 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
56% of TEATRO VISION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
86% of TEATRO VISION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $375k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
