From the IRS filings of ARTS COUNCIL OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STEFFENS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

Where its funders are
100% of ARTS COUNCIL OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STEFFENS'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $60 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.
