What Kulture Klub Collaborative does
Mission
The mission of Kulture Klub Collaborative is to provide a safe consistent space for youth experiencing homelessness to freely enjoy access to the arts. At KKC we believe that everyone is an artist. We expose, educate, and empower youth through quality multidisciplinary art experiences. We use art and creativity as a positive force in their lives for personal growth, social justice, actionable compassion, and community improvement
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Breaking Barriers with AI: AI Technology and training is not an art and music tool that is easily accessible to homeless youth. It can be cost-prohibitive, as most homeless youth do not have access to necessary hardware, software, and training. Because AI is currently a major emerging art technology, it is critical for emerging artists to learn its implications and how to use it. This is particularly important for homeless youth, who often struggle to stay up-to-date on art and technology trends that can provide meaningful knowledge and economic opportunity. Over the course of the residency we introduced the youth to the process of creating a 3-5 minute music video using AI and 3D software, animation software, and animation characters, backgrounds, and HDRI worlds. Each youth created their own unique videos and characters, and were able to access the programming at whatever level felt comfortable to them. We provided multiple ways to engage ranging from simple character animation to full-on video production and allowed youth to select a participation style that matched their learning and engagement levels. Youth and the teaching artist also produced three AI music videos tutorials…
$10,303 spent6% of program spendingCapturing Homelessness: Shining Light on Our Perspectives Photography Project. 54 youth participated in this program which aimed to raise awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by homeless youth. Participants received instruction in photography skills and they explored their surroundings to capture moments that resonate with their experiences. They presented their work to friends, family, and interested parties sharing their personal reflections and thoughts in Kulture Klub's gallery space. This project was designed for youth experiencing homelessness, many of whom face historical trauma and limited access to the arts. KKC has sought guidance from local photographer Roosevelt Mansfield, who has his work displayed not only on the streets of Minneapolis, but around the globe
$7,402 spent4% of program spendingCreative Arts Therapy: This program was led by Pauline Moll, an artist and licensed Creative Arts Therapist. The goal of our Creative Arts Therapy program was to provide accessible, arts-based therapeutic practices that support our youth in building skills that help them manage their mental health and improve their life circumstances. Over the run of the program we have experienced consistent growth in attendance and positive outcomes. Because our programming is drop-in based, each week's Creative Arts Therapy programming day differed from the week before, bringing different youth together in community to participate in the day's activities. Each session was a mix of regular attendees and new attendees who participated in warm up exercises such as a question-of-the-day or a group game that relaxed the youth and built trust. Following the warm up, the youth worked on an art-based activity, either separately or as a group, then reflected and discussed their work and feelings and insights. Afterwards, youth were welcome to stay in our studio space and socialize, continue their art activity, or engage in another art-based activity. 125+ youth were able to benefit from Creative Arts…

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 $155k to $259k (+67%).
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 44% · 2019 36% · 2021 13% · 2022 36% · 2023 38% · 2024 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of KULTURE KLUB COLLABORATIVE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $25k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 KULTURE KLUB COLLABORATIVE’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
KULTURE KLUB COLLABORATIVE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of KULTURE KLUB COLLABORATIVE's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
