What they do
ANANYA DANCE THEATER is AN ENSEMBLE COMPANY of BIPOC WOMEN and FEMME PROFESSIONAL DANCE ARTISTS. WE CREATE ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY DANCE THEATER AT THE INTERSECTION of ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE and SOCIAL JUSTICE. WE WORK to DISMANTLE HIERARCHIES and BUILD LIBERATION, INSPIRED BY THE LIVES and DREAMS of BIPOC WOMEN and FEMMES AROUND THE GLOBE. WE WILL CELEBRATE OUR 20TH SEASON IN 2025. OUR ARTISTRY UNFOLDS THROUGH YORCHHA, OUR DEVISED CONTEMPORARY FEMINIST DANCE FORM, WHICH EMBODIES OUR RESPONSE to THE WESTERN/EURO-AMERICAN MOVEMENT PRACTICES THAT DOMINATE THE CONTEMPORARY DANCE WORLD. YORCHHA PROUDLY CLAIMS THE DESCRIPTORS "CONTEMPORARY- and "INNOVATIVE" EVEN AS IT CELEBRATES ITS CREATION FROM AN INTENTIONAL DECONSTRUCTION and REASSEMBLY of TRADITIONAL ODISSI, VINYASA YOGA, and THE MARTIAL ART CHHAU. WHILE YORCHHA is ROOTED IN PRINCIPLES of SOUTH ASIAN MOVEMENT FORMS, WE SHAPE ITS EXPRESSION to MOVE BEYOND AN AFFILIATION WITH "INDIAN CULTURE" THAT OFFERS CONSTRICTIVE UNDERSTANDINGS of "HINDU"
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $76.90 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
