What Healing Arts Project Inc does
Mission
To provide artist opportunities to persons in mental health and substance abuse recovery
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
It was an exceptional year for HAPI as we achieved significant milestones under the grant. We conducted art classes at 22 different sites, both virtually and in person, totaling 275 classes and 598 participants. Additionally, we supported 115 independent artists on our artist support list, all of whom are underserved Tennesseans recovering from mental health and substance use disorders. HAPI also facilitated 212 classes at four separate sites, engaging a total of 680 artists. We collaborated on three beautiful murals with the help of art participants in the Middle Tennessee region. Since COVID-19, our numbers have decreased in some centers, so we are strategically considering either combining sites with low attendance or reaching out to agencies with individuals on the waiting list who could benefit from HAPI services. We are actively seeking new venues to exhibit art and successfully showcased 198 original art pieces created by 144 artists this year. Overall, HAPI operated at 23 sites, taught 275 art classes, and engaged 719 unduplicated artists, incorporating participation from art classes, independent artists, and those featured in our exhibits.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $37k to $-2420 (−107%).
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 91% · 2023 79% · 2024 82% · 2025 75%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of HEALING ARTS PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $33k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
