What Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts does
Mission
Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts offers professionally rigorous visual and performing arts programs to adults with disabilities. In the spirit of radical inclusion, interact is a multi-cultural art center that embraces (continued on scheudle o) the entire spectrum of disability to transform and challenge notions of ability for both artists and audiences. Each year we create and produce one theater show which performs at an off-site recognized theater, as well as occasional "one-time" performances at other venues. The visual artists also show their work around the community at art shows and galleries in addition to interact's gallery shows. All artists are paid for their work.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Interact's visual arts studio works across multiple disciplines, holding focused workshops and critiques guided by artists from within the community and by local and nationally recognized visiting artists. Interact's gallery aims to advance the recognition of their work through exhibitions, partnerships, licensing opportunities and collaborative opportunities. After launching the online platform in addition to in-person gallery events, artwork sales have continued to grow. Interact pays industry standard commissions on sales of artwork to all artists, with the remainder of the sales proceeds supporting interact's visual arts supplies and programming.
$1,358,739 spent$1,023,678 earned by the program69% of program spendingInteract's performing arts theater produces original and scripted, fully staged theater productions each year, along with more informal works-in-process designed for special events such as school shows, industry events, and conferences. Interact's ensemble-generated creation and developmental process means that artists with disabilities fully participate in conceiving and performing new work, developing the original material, writing scripts/songs and incorporating everyone's ideas through improvisation. Additionally, performing artists work on other scripted material that inspires them. Collaborating with acclaimed guest artists with and without disabilities, interact is an integral part of the twin cities and regional arts community. All artists are paid for their performance work.

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 2023 to 2024, from $768k to $3.3M (+336%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $17k → $125k.
7 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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 INTERACT CENTER FOR THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS’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
INTERACT CENTER FOR THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% 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
59% 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 INTERACT CENTER FOR THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2019 50% · 2020 25% · 2021 44% · 2022 29% · 2023 24% — 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.

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.

70% of INTERACT CENTER FOR THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $347k 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.
