Overview

Mission

To provide cultural services to all segments of the general public by presenting developing and fostering all forms of the arts.

What it reported doing in 2025

IN HOUSE PROGRAMS: Allied's In-house programs provide public education in experimental, alternative, and underserved art and cultural practice and public presentations in art and culture including "ABC No Rio 45 Years", a multi-venue exhibition and program at the Emily Harvey Foundation that celebrated the iconic Lower East Side cultural center's legacy of radical art, DIY activism, and collective cultural production. Allied co-presented this historical survey, which featured archival works, documents, panels, readings, and films that engaged both long-time participants and new audiences in the history of artist-led, grassroots arts ecosystems. In conjunction with this exhibition, Allied activated film programming at Anthology Film Archives, extending the conversation around oppositional creative traditions and community resilience. We provided artist fees, productions materials and services, lectures and public information on the historical impact of late 20th century art, culture and social movements. Beyond site-specific projects, Allied's presence extended into broader cultural platforms. At the Printed Matter NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, Allied and Le Petit Versailles presented installations and programming that highlighted archival material and contemporary publishing practices, including book launches and artist talks featuring works such as "Selfies" by Lucia Minervini and publications from Lynne Sachs & Company. This participation connected Allied's creative ethos to international audiences and reinforced the importance of independent publishing within arts ecosystems. Number of persons benefited - 2000

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
