What International Institute for Culture Inc does
Mission
The organization's tax-exempt purpose is educational. The mission is to promote international understanding through cultural means (educational, the visual arts, music, drama, etc.).
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
During 2024 the International Institute for Culture hosted an educational lecture series on history, philosophy, and the arts which reflect the deep cultural heritage of Catholicism. Deo Gratias Films, in association with the International Institute for Culture, is producing a feature-length documentary on the history of St Charles Borromeo Seminary of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. An international symposium was held with numerous scholars presenting papers and having respondents on the incarnation (a central Catholic belief) and its significance for the life of the Church, particularly the sacraments.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $868k to $782k (−10%).
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.
92% of INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CULTURE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $10k → $100k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 78% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CULTURE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CULTURE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 67% · 2020 100% · 2021 89% · 2022 85% · 2023 75% — 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.
Where its funders are
78% of INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CULTURE 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 $144k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $516k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
