What Go Workshop does
Mission
To advocate education and promote social welfare by harnessing the power of the arts to foster community civic engagement
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
To support our mission, civic arts provides services in professional policy, evaluation, and engagement both within and outside of our own community. Technical assistance: we work with organizations and their community stakeholders to develop equitable evaluation plans and arts-based project strategies. We work with our partners to first identify what's happening on the ground, and then identify key tools that can help to move the project forward with its own voice. At their core, our approaches ensure that all projects are run with, by, and for the communities they serve. Field building: we help advance arts-based community development through the collaborative creation of action plans and educational materials that find grounded ways in which the arts can take a larger role in meeting organizational goals. Policy solutions: we craft locally tailored plans that combine quantitative data with robust community dialogues in order to identify strategic insights for how the arts and culture can further urban and organizational goals. Engagement planning: we meet people where they are by ensuring that the arts have a seat at the table in creating robust civic engagement processes that…

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 2022 to 2023, from $268k to $183k (−32%).
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: 2022 84% · 2023 100% · 2024 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of GO WORKSHOP’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 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.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 89% 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 GO WORKSHOP’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
GO WORKSHOP leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% 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 GO WORKSHOP.
“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
89% of GO WORKSHOP's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $36k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Texas funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $305k 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.
