01What it does

What Art With Impact does

Mission

Promote mental wellness by creating space for young people to learn and connect through art and media. We work in colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and Canada, leveraging the arts to eliminate the stigma around mental illness.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. College and University WorkshopsIn 2023-24 Art With Impact ran 35 arts-based mental health workshops online and at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Each of our workshops used artistic modalities including short film, creative writing, and poetry to explore unique mental health journeys, promote mental wellness, and connect participants with concrete resources for support. In post-workshop evaluations, between 81% of participants reported an increased likelihood to seek support for their own mental health.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 6 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $165k → $29.

2 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 IMPACT’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 IMPACT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.

“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

30% of ART WITH IMPACT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 35% 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
