What Art With Heart does
Mission
Our mission is to spread the healing power of creative expression to kids facing tramua or adversity.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Art with Heart teams with mental health professionals, educators, and other community leaders to create and print creative expression tools to help kids deal with trauma and adversity. These therapeutic activity books are designed for K-12 students, with companion curricula for the adults helping kids learn to identify, express, and manage difficult emotions in overwhelming circumstances. Art with Heart resources are used in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs in schools, after school programs, and summer camps across the US. Art with Heart also trains adults on how to use the therapeutic activity books via webinars and in-person trainings and workshops. These trainings are designed for teachers, counselors, and social workers in school systems; therapists in private practice or at mental health agencies; adults leading after-school programs and working at grief and substance abuse camps; and child-life specialists in hospitals working with kids facing challenging medical diagnoses or procedures.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $326k to $225k (−31%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 8 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $323k → $52k.
4 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ART WITH HEART’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ART WITH HEART leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
82% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ART WITH HEART.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 77% · 2018 41% · 2019 76% · 2020 64% · 2021 83% · 2022 97% · 2023 97% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
9% of ART WITH HEART's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 41% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
71% of ART WITH HEART's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $286k that is directly attributable, 50% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $690k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
