What The Capitol Symphonic Youth Orchestras Inc does
Mission
The Capitol Symphonic Youth Orchestras provides a creative environment where young musicians from the greater Washington D.C. area come together to rehearse and perform orchestral music. Student musicians receive instruction from local professional musicians through regular, weekly rehearsals as well as sectional rehearsals where individual sections of the orchestras receive specialized instruction specific to their instrument. In addition to the Orchestra program, TCSYO also offers a Summer Camp Program and a Chamber Music Program. The Summer Camp program is a weeklong, half day program where student musicians rehearse daily and then perform a concert at the end of the week. The Chamber Music program runs concurrent with the Orchestra program's weekly rehearsals where student musicians focus on musical works specifically composed for small ensembles (typically 3-6 students).
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2024 to 2025, from $343k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of THE CAPITOL SYMPHONIC YOUTH ORCHESTRAS 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.
Where its funders are
100% of THE CAPITOL SYMPHONIC YOUTH ORCHESTRAS INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $126 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.
