What Future Arts does
Mission
Our mission is to cultivate cross-pollination between technology, nature, and the arts. We connect, mentor, commission and develop showcasing opportunities for underserved new media artists.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Future Arts is a pioneering women-led new media arts nonprofit organization bringing tech-forward, accessible, and immersive experiences to Seattle and beyond. This year we produced free public showcases, commissioned new artworks, piloted an artist residency program, and debuted a new interactive livestream program (Future Arts LIVE!) that bridges the physical and digital. Over the past 3+ years, we have produced 25+ events that welcomed over 18,000 direct engagements with our artworks in a digital/physical space, with over 350K impressions locally and globally of our digital content storytelling. We have won national awards, shown at international conferences, and created interdisciplinary art-tech programs for youth. We hope to continue uplifting untold stories through technology and changing Seattle's history to become a cultural and arts tech hub, uplifting its rich and vibrant communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $20k to $53k (+166%).
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.
94% of FUTURE ARTS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% 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 FUTURE ARTS’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
FUTURE ARTS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% 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
84% 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 FUTURE ARTS.
“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
100% of FUTURE ARTS's grant income comes from Washington funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k 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.
Against its field
