Overview
Mission
Arts and literacy programming for the public
What it reported doing in 2025
With the help of local artists and 15 volunteers, we offered free community art sessions at large-scale events, such as festivals at the El Paso Museum of Archaeology and El Paso Museum of History. We also had free programs at local libraries and public schools. Approximately 1500 people participated and made art with us.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
