What Western International Band Clinic does
Mission
Our ABC program at Central Washington University is a full-fledged master's degree that is held for its Immersion Program each June in Ashland, Oregon. With 1200+ graduates from 49 states, there are currently over 200 active candidates. Our annual WIBC Convention, in Seattle, WA, started in 1980, serves nearly 1000 high school students from 15 states as well as band directors. Our Bandworld Magazine, started in 1985, is provided free to directors worldwide, now serving as an internet-based publication.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
AMERICAN BAND COLLEGE: Started in 1989, this master's degree program features 24 of the world's top conductors, composers, soloists and lecturers. Candidates attend the 3-summer immersion program in Ashland, Oregon and work year-round on special projects that develop skills in 28 teaching areas of band conducting toward the Master of Music in Education degree at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. In Ashland, candidates attend over 70 sessions and play 3 hours per day in one of our two 100-member directors' bands in an 18-day period. Candidates use our web-based Ultimate Pursuit training system for study and WiFi-based testing. In addition, candidates produce 7 major publish-quality projects that delve into weak areas (to produce Practical Applications for their own students) as well as audio- and video-based projects based on analysis of their own and colleague bands.
$672,733 spent$974,767 earned by the program74% of program spendingWESTERN INTERNATIONAL BAND CLINIC: Serving school bandsmen and their directors since 1980, WIBC auditions nearly 1000 students to be in of our four 150-member high school honor bands. Held in Seattle each November, WIBC hires 6 world-class conductors, each directing a piece of music with each of the bands. In addition, a professional soloist performs with each of the bands. This convention has been responsible for 9 major commission projects that produced music now a major part of the band repertoire. At the same time, WIBC Publishing has produced dozens of educational products (most free and available online) to serve as teaching tools) as well as our Warm-Ups That Work book now used by bands around the world. Finally, starting in 2013, the corporation formed its first WIBC U Collegiate Honor Band made up of university students from 20 different colleges. The new aspect of WIBC provides a completely separate, internal convention solely for college students utilizing the world-class faculty that always graces this event.

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 2025 to 2026, from $10M to $12M (+22%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $14 → $17.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 WESTERN INTERNATIONAL BAND CLINIC’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 WESTERN INTERNATIONAL BAND CLINIC'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. $58 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.
