What Tri-City Band Corps does
Mission
Tri-City Band Corps' primary exempt purpose is to spread music and music education in the community while being student-run, which gives students experience in leadership and management.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Tri-City Band Corps' Hastati Regiment is a free Elementary Band program for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. It performed in the San Mateo Concert Hall for our Winter Concert, and at Blackford Stratford for its summer concert in-joint with the Cadets Regiment. It also performed in the local Niles Parade in Fall 2024.
$126,463 spent$140,749 earned by the program38% of program spendingTri-City Band Corps' Cadet Regiment was created to provide junior high students with the opportunity to participate in marching band before high school so that musicians can gain experience and be better prepared for high school music programs. This not only allows participants to meet like-minded, dedicated students from other schools but also strengthens the high school marching programs. Most of the top high school marching band programs begin marching programs in junior high. With the implementation of the Cadet Regiment, we hope to improve the quality of marching programs in the community and see a growth in membership at local high schools.

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 $26k to $9k (−63%).
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.
64% of TRI-CITY BAND CORPS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $250 → $20k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 97% 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 TRI-CITY BAND CORPS’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
TRI-CITY BAND CORPS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 90% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 TRI-CITY BAND CORPS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 88% · 2023 98% — 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
97% of TRI-CITY BAND CORPS'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. Of the $4k that is directly attributable, 61% of it comes from funders outside California, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $109k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
