Overview
Mission
The chapter house is an art and community space for indigenous peoples and allies to appreciate art, convene and collaborate, celebrate individual and shared indigenous cultures, and explore the complexities of the 21st century indigenous experience. We host exhibitions, artist lectures, workshops, panel discussions, live music performances, poetry readings, and other community and art-oriented events.

We also opened our new physical space in echo park in los angeles to create a permanent place for indigenous peoples and allies to experience art and connect with one another.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
