What Arts Council of Midland does
Mission
Enriching lives with the arts through community wide advocacy, education, outreach, and promotion.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Celebration of the Arts - An annual three day visual and performing arts festival that brings together an array of art activities, performances, and displays to downtown Midland in a family oriented event. Visual arts are local, regional, and national artists who are juried in to participate in the festival. Performing artists, mostly local, have a stage and captive visitors to listen to or view their acts. Sponsors are treated to a premier party with food and beverages and get the first opportunity to see the visual artists work. Throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday, there are visual and performing artists, art activities that include take away projects for children, demonstrations, informal lectures, and several nonprofit organizations that highlight their organizations for visitors.

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. 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 2018 to 2019, from $442k to $593k (+34%).
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: 2017 29% · 2018 32% · 2019 25% · 2020 42% · 2021 30% · 2022 28% · 2023 27% · 2024 21%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of ARTS COUNCIL OF MIDLAND’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $753 → $215k.
1 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $195k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Permian Basin Area Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money ARTS COUNCIL OF MIDLAND raised.

How concentrated its funding is
ARTS COUNCIL OF MIDLAND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 85% · 2019 90% · 2020 75% · 2021 75% · 2022 83% · 2023 84% — diversifying over time.
“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
50% of ARTS COUNCIL OF MIDLAND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
ARTS COUNCIL OF MIDLAND draws 62% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $47k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
