What Arkansas Air and Military Museum does
Mission
The mission of the Arkansas Air and Military Museum is to establish and maintain a museum for public display of aircraft, aviation artifacts, and military memorabilia from the earliest period to the present with special attention to items related to the state of Arkansas.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The museum provides restoration, preservation and exhibition of aircraft and aviation artifacts in Northwest Arkansas. The Arkansas Air and Military Museum is home to some of the nations only surviving varieties of aircraft and some world-famous replicas. The museums historical displays span the entire age of aviation from Fayettevilles first days in flight through the Golden Age of air racing, both World Wars, the Vietnam Conflict and into the future with the Space Shuttle program.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $178,304.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $414k to $701k (+69%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 23% · 2019 19% · 2020 21% · 2021 8% · 2022 35% · 2023 24% · 2024 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of Arkansas Air and Military Museum’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
