Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Operate the brown-kimbrough center for arts, innovation and creativity (arts302) and creative hud for the community through classes, workshops, gallery exhibits, and more creative experiences

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
