What Haleakala Inc does
Mission
As one of new york city's oldest nonprofit alternative art centers, the kitchen is dedicated to offering emerging and established artists opportunities to create and present new work within, and across, the disciplines of dance, music, theater, visual art, and literature. Known for its commitment to providing instrumental early support for artists who have progressed to later prominence, the kitchen has been a powerful force in shaping the cultural landscape of this country.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Performance & exhibitionrecognizing its longstanding legacy of experimentation, the kitchen remains devoted to nurturing a community of artists and audiences, providing artists the opportunity to make--and for audiences to engage with--work that takes risks not available elsewhere. The kitchen annually produces about 90 programs in its ground-floor, black-box theater and seven to eight multidisciplinary exhibitions in the second-floor gallery. In keeping with its mission to provide an accessible space for artists and the public, ticket prices for performances are affordable, while admission to artist's talks, literary readings, and gallery exhibitions is free of charge.

The kitchen provided archival material from 1971 - 1999 to the getty research center to ensure the archive's long-term conservation and access to a broader public. We currently have a considerable portion of print and video material accessible to the public online via our archive website. Additionally, six music cds of material from the audio archive have been commercially released.

As a result of the partnerships we have forged with individual schools and organizations over the years, the kitchen's education initiatives continue to evolve to meet the particular needs of our program participants, while remaining a vital resource for the community we serve. At the core of our education program are our long-standing in-school and after-school programs at liberty high school academy for newcomers.

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. 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 $12M to $18M (+52%).
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 13% · 2018 14% · 2019 7% · 2020 17% · 2021 10% · 2022 5% · 2023 6% · 2024 4% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of HALEAKALA INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $179k → $1.9M.
12 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 HALEAKALA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 funders by total. 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
HALEAKALA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
36% 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 HALEAKALA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 27% · 2018 43% · 2019 33% · 2020 20% · 2021 49% · 2022 43% · 2023 51% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
46% of HALEAKALA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
80% of HALEAKALA INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states 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
HALEAKALA INC's funding base is broadening — from 10 funders to 18 as grant income climbed.
