Program
The Capital City Arts Initiative is an artist-centered not-for-profit organization committed to community engagement in contemporary visual arts through exhibitions, arts education programs, essays, illustrated talks, arts education programs, artist residencies, and online activities. In our 22nd year, 2024-2025, ccai produced and presented 14 exhibitions in 4 galleries totaling 885 gallery days. We presented work by 118 artists/essay writers and 84 student artists. To provide the public with gallery and program access, we published 6 exhibit essays, 14 virtual gallery tours with artist interviews, 3 online nevada neighbors talks, 12 monthly e-newsletters. Ccai paid honoraria to artists, essay writers, nevada neighbors speakers, graphic design/video production, and for student wall-text translations in spanish. The collaborations for gallery spaces continue with city buildings (brick, courthouse, and crowell room) and with western nevada college's bristlecone gallery. The work with our great partner schools continues with carson, dayton, douglas, whittell high schools and with wnc. Volunteers donated over 400 hours to the initiative. Over 18 businesses and funders contributed…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $61,675.
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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $42k to $17k (−61%).
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.
0% of CAPITAL CITY ARTS INITIATIVE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $3k → $20k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 CAPITAL CITY ARTS INITIATIVE’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
CAPITAL CITY ARTS INITIATIVE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
28% 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 CAPITAL CITY ARTS INITIATIVE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 52% · 2019 100% · 2020 67% · 2021 99% · 2022 44% · 2023 35% — 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.
Where its funders are
70% of CAPITAL CITY ARTS INITIATIVE's grant income comes from Nevada funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k 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.
