01What it does

What Alliance of HBCU Museums and Galleries Inc does

Mission

To contribute to the diversification of the museum and art world through the preparation and training of outstanding students and recent alumni from our member HBCUs in museum studies, art conservation, archives, and artistry. To support the preservation, sustenance, and operations of our member museums and galleries and their collections and staff.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Expenses include travel to get other HBCUs to join us and travel to present to our constituencies the success of our alumni. We are deeply committed to preserving and promoting the rich history housed within Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and fostering a more inclusive future in the art conservation and technical art history field. To further this mission, we support our SIP-C Bridge Program, an initiative that will take our existing Six-Week Introduction to Practical Conservation (SIP-C) program to the next level by providing ongoing mentorship, professional development, and hands-on experience to alumni as they matriculate through their academic programs and into professional careers.

Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
