What Emc Arts Inc does
Mission
To observe, analyze and suggest improvements to the methods by which charitable organizations relate to, and interact with, all of their stakeholders, including their employees, their directors, their communities, and the larger community of charitable organizations within which they operate and to strengthen the professional capacity
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Program
Adaptive leadership programming for single organizations, new pathways for the arts/staging change for a cohort of organizations in a single city, and building the capacity to innovate and adapt for a cohort of organizations in a metro area.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $467k to $0 (−100%).
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: 2021 13% · 2022 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
