What Holland Museum does
Mission
Mission: preserving our past, imagining our future vision: to be a cultural leader and community collaborator inspiring the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Holland Museum shares the story of holland, michigan, from the arrival by dutch immigrants to today's innovative, successful, and diverse community. In the main museum, there are thousands of facinating historic objects as well as artwork from the netherlands from the 1600s to the 1900s. Sparklab smithsonian, with rotating stem activities is a highlight for families of all ages. Additional temporary exhibits offer something new regularly. Two historic homes showcasing how people lived in the late 1800s are part of the trust's properties: the settlers house is a small family home that was lived in by a series of working class families over the course of its long history. Built around 1867, the building survived the great holland fire of 1871 and was continuously lived in until the 1990s. Today, the home has been restored to how it would have appeared in 1871. The cappon house was the home of holland's first mayor and local tannery proprietor, issac cappon. Built in 1874, it is now partially restored to its appearance in 1900. Visitors to the cappon house step back in time, immersing themselves in the stories of isaac cappon and his large family.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.8M to $2.1M (+11%).
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 35% · 2018 18% · 2019 16% · 2020 37% · 2021 52% · 2022 39% · 2023 13% · 2024 17% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of HOLLAND MUSEUM’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $16k → $112k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 HOLLAND MUSEUM’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
HOLLAND MUSEUM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 70%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
54% 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 HOLLAND MUSEUM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 61% · 2019 64% · 2020 47% · 2021 42% · 2022 46% · 2023 45% — diversifying over time.
“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
57% of HOLLAND MUSEUM's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
52% of HOLLAND MUSEUM'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 $387k that is directly attributable, 78% of it comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $414k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
