What Friends of the Missouri Governor's Mansion does
Mission
Friends of the Missouri Governor's Mansion preserves the mansion's history through stewardship of the mansion's interior, its historical collections and educational programs. We manage, train, and oversee community volunteers to provide the public and digital tour program. In addition, we preserve the historical assets featured on the first floor public space, in collaboration with the state of missouri. Fmgm has a comprehensive collection of antique furnishings which are loaned to the missouri governor's mansion for use and display.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Education enrichment programs include public tours, virtual arts, and history education, and manners etiquette classes for children ages 8-12. Fmgm provides extensive arts, history and tour management training to 75 active volunteer "docents" for on-site tours at the missouri governor's mansion and virtual education through www.missourimansion.org.

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 2024 to 2025, from $605k to $789k (+31%).
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 1% · 2018 10% · 2019 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $50k from 4 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Community Foundation of the Ozarks Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money FRIENDS OF THE MISSOURI GOVERNOR'S MANSION raised.
