What Art of The Cowgirl Foundation does
Mission
To celebrate cowgirls and their contributions to western lifestyle and culture, providing mentorship to artists to expand their entrepreneurial knowledge and skills via fellowships with master artists in their field.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Fellowship Program - The Fellowship Program is our original dream and basis for the Art of the Cowgirl Event. The fellowship provides an opportunity for western artists to work with masters, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to learn or refine their passion with some of the most talented makers in the business. Whether it be a fine art, functional trade, or horsemanship, these fellowships will enrich, empower and educate while honoring our western heritage. The fellowship seeks to remove obstacles such as funding and access for up and coming artists, without restriction of age or location.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2024 to 2025, from $218k to $172k (−21%).
