What Indiana Artisan Inc does
Mission
Indiana Artisan identifies, recognizes and promotes the highest quality art and foods made by Hoosier artisans today, Its mission is to develop a brand defined by that work and to expand the brand by helping artisans expand their businesses. This is accomplished through business-related education, networking and collaborations, promotions, and a variety of opportunities to increase sales, particularly the two Marketplaces, the two retail stores, and through use of the Viewbook.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Indiana Artisan Carmel store is a 2500 square-foot store strategically located in the Carmel Arts and Design District, a favorite shopping destination for residents of Carmel and other parts of Greater Indianapolis, as well as out-of-town visitors. Staffing of the store is by the President of Indiana Artisan and various artisans, which results in customers having an opportunity to speak directly to artisans. Nearly all of the merchandise is on consignment from the artisans, who receive 60 percent of the sales price while the store receives 40 percent. This gives the artisans a retail outlet they don't have to manage, and is an effective teaching tool for how they can expand their businesses. Expenses include President's time and promotional costs which are fully allocated to Carmel.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $103k to $147k (+43%).
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: 2020 39% · 2021 22% · 2022 15% · 2023 12% · 2024 6% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
54% of INDIANA ARTISAN INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income held at $13k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 INDIANA ARTISAN INC’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
INDIANA ARTISAN INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 50% 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 INDIANA ARTISAN INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
50% of INDIANA ARTISAN INC'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 $13k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Indiana funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k 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.
