Overview
Mission
To facilitate the arts in our small town of Palmer, Alaska
What it reported doing in 2025
Artist Studio Tour provided opportunity for 150 participants to visit several local working artists in their working spaces, experience their working processes, and have the opportunity to purchase original works of art.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 72% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
