Overview

Mission

NCW Arts nurtures our region by uplifting and connecting artists and communities throughout North Central Washington.

What it reported doing in 2024

Launched the regional Artist Index, inclusive of all artistic disciplines and a robust website with access to current arts events and opportunities. Expanded our monthly magazine the ArtBeat in partnership with The Comet Magazine. Re-invigorated the Wenatchee First Friday monthly event in partnership with the Wenatchee Downtown Association and Visit Wenatchee.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
