Overview

Mission

Frontline Arts supports in-house and mobile educational programs, including Frontline Paper for Veterans, The Scrubs Paper Project, and Youth and Adult Education Programs. Besides traveling equipment for mobile operations, they operate a communal space available for artists across the state and greater region, along with community-building events and lectures, exhibitions, and studio services in hybrid, in-person and virtual formats.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
