The city & borough assembly charged the council with managing the redistribution of city arts funding in 2005. The council worked with the other groups to develop a fair and equitable distribution process which it administers annually. This process includes maintaining close contact with all the arts groups and facilitating support in the form of training, advice, community- wide communication as well as the redistribution of funds.

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 2019 to 2020, from $638k to $979k (+54%).
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 12% · 2018 12% · 2019 9% · 2020 40% · 2021 57% · 2022 48% · 2023 49% · 2024 33% · 2025 33%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
50% of JUNEAU ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $221k → $104k.
5 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $500 from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Juneau Arts & Humanities Council). These are real filings, and they are not money JUNEAU ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL raised.

How concentrated its funding is
JUNEAU ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
41% 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 JUNEAU ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 63% · 2019 50% · 2020 79% · 2021 92% · 2022 45% · 2023 89% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of JUNEAU ARTS & HUMANITIES COUNCIL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $588k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
