What The Arlington Chorale does
Mission
The Chorale's mission is to create a rich cultural experience for the community by performing high-quality concerts that showcase well-known pieces and also introduce our audiences to compelling new works.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Arlington Chorale's 2024-25 season, Fuel Your Passion, engaged audiences through four distinctive performances: Carmina Burana in November 2024, Enchant in December 2024, Enthrall in March 2025, and Envision in May 2025. Together, these concerts reflected the Chorale's commitment to artistic excellence, presenting a thoughtful range of repertoire and concert experiences that invited reflection, celebration, and connection. Through this season, the Arlington Chorale continued to advance its mission of building community through music, offering performances that inspired audiences, fostered belonging, and demonstrated the enduring power of choral art.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $83k to $124k (+49%).
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: 2018 0% · 2024 16% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
82% of THE ARLINGTON CHORALE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $7k → $10k.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 THE ARLINGTON CHORALE’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
THE ARLINGTON CHORALE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% 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
27% 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 THE ARLINGTON CHORALE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
THE ARLINGTON CHORALE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
