Overview

Mission

Kogei Craft Association USA Corp is seeking to introduce and expand the Traditional Japanese Art and Culture to USA and the World.

What it reported doing in 2024

Two major programs launched: US Museum Traveling Exhibition, which will open at the Art Institute of Minneapolis in October 2026, and then will plan to travel to other 4-5 museums until around 2032. And Japan Kogei Art Tours will be organized from 2026 to visit Japanese artists' studios to learn their art and heritage.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
