What Vineyard Arts Project Limited does
Mission
Vineyard Arts Project is an incubator for the creation of new work in dance and theater. An artistic residency space located on the beautiful island of Marthas Vineyard VAP provides visiting artists the necessary time accommodation and rehearsal space that allows them to focus solely on the development of their new work. We also support the next generation of artists and creators by partnering with young artist training programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The theatrical residency program fosters the development of original theater and musical theater works by emerging writers and lyricists. These artists are given time and space to write as well as the opportunity to do a development workshop. There are companies that return each season along with NY Boston or LA companies selected by the Artistic Director and through an open call process.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2022 to 2023, from $100k to $38k (−62%).
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: 2021 1% · 2022 3% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
13% of Vineyard Arts Project Limited’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $10k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Vineyard Arts Project Limited leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 98% · 2022 58% · 2023 99% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
Vineyard Arts Project Limited draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k 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.
