$63,357 spent$32,211 earned by the program82% of program spendingEducational programs: the westchester philharmonic's award-winning educational programs for children brings philharmonic teaching artists into classrooms, grades 2 through 5, and culminates with the children coming to the performing arts center for a full orchestra concert in a real concert hall. The classroom modules introduce instrument families, concepts of melody and harmony, tempo and rhythm, and compositional form, all made digestible and fun for young ears and minds. These activities have been adjusted in frequency and size as a continuing effect of the pandemic.
$1,600 spent$2,000 earned by the program2% of program spendingCommunity concerts: the phil's chamber series concerts have grown in both size, frequency, and venue destinations, as post-pandemic audiences find more comfort in smaller venues with smaller crowds. This also expands the phil's geographic footprint throughout the county and across the seasonal calendar. We now perform at crawford park and mansion in rye brook, untermyer botanical gardens in yonkers, the greenburgh public library, as well as our continued partnership with downtown music at grace, at grace church, white plains. Depending on the venue, concerts are offered either free or at very low cost, and consistently sell out. Repertoire features classical gems as well as contemporary and jazz genres.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $176k to $46k (−74%).
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: 2022 21% · 2023 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC INC’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 5 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $70k → $138k.
2 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC 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.
How concentrated its funding is
WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
80% 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 WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 27% · 2019 65% · 2020 43% · 2021 61% · 2022 79% · 2023 68% — growing more concentrated.
“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
53% of WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
59% of WESTCHESTER PHILHARMONIC 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. Of the $537k that is directly attributable, 75% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $760k 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.
