Overview
Mission
To foster public understanding of the contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community by supporting the creation, public presentation, and social engagement programming of interdisciplinary artwork that examines the rich diversity of queer experiences.
What it reported doing in 2024
Rendezvous Center for Art supported the research, creation of art and public presentation of an exhibition and two-day public symposium at charitable arts space Art League Houston, and a reading of commissioned poetry, through artist/speaker fees, fabrication support, travel and lodging support, Spanish language interpretation, a/v and technical support, marketing and archival support. Rendezvous also supported research for programming that will take place in FY26 and beyond. All programming was free and open to the public. The two-day symposium served 190 people. The exhibition and poetry reading were attended by 1,185 people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% 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 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.
