What Community Arts Experience INC does

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
CAE did not introduce new program service categories during the fiscal year. However it expanded the capacity and integration of existing programs by establishing a centralized service location at 75 Mercer Avenue in Wheatland Pennsylvania. This enhancement strengthened CAEs ability to deliver coordinated arts-based trauma-informed programming across its existing service areas and to increase access to structured recovery support and prevention programming.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
During the fiscal year CAE implemented operational improvements associated with the transition to a centralized program facility. This included adjustments to program scheduling staffing coordination and service delivery. These changes enhanced efficiency strengthened cross-program coordination improved participant engagement and increased the organizations capacity to deliver integrated services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $28k to $124k (+336%).

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $6k → $29k.
1 of 3 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.

Community Arts Experience INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 90% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Community Arts Experience INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k 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.
