Overview

Mission

Function as a digital textbook and digital classroom for glass education in higher education. Primary programming for the glass education exchange is a virtual visiting artist lecture series that is shared between dozens of academic degree-granting glass programs. Additional programming supports glass learning through: a book club, a flame affinity group, a bipoc affinity group, and a writing center offering 1:1 writing consultations online. Geex resources constitute a digital textbook, including an online resource exchange, a public calendar, and educational podcasts.

What it reported doing in 2024

The geex writing center offers the glass community access to writing expertise for 1:1 consultations to help edit and refine: artist statements, grant proposals, job applications, exhibition pitches, and other artistic writing needs for glass artists.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
