What Livingston Center for Art and Culture Inc does
Mission
The organization operates an art gallery in livingston, a small rural community in park county montana. Many artists and writers live in the area, and classes are held to spark innovative ways of thinking about the experience of art and culture. The mission is to inspire artistic and cultural opportunities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
2025 included a continuous increase in new artists participating in exhibitions, mentoring opportunities and volunteering with the organization. We increased from 20% to 35% in last year. 50% of our exhibitions continue to be "open calls- and more collaborators from the community brought new youth artists and teachers, which supports our mission and expands our membership base. We increased savings and investments during 3 separate fundraising events in 2025 by 40%, both in new supporters and an increase in donation dollars. In the fall of 2025 we collaborated with 2 other local non-profits to bring more arts programming to park county in order to draw working artists to the area and bolster the local economy. This collaboration will continue for at least the next two years and then become a solid event in our county to celebrate the arts and bolster the economy.

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 2023 to 2024, from $64k to $138k (+115%).
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 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 LIVINGSTON CENTER FOR ART AND CULTURE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 92% · 2020 85% · 2021 91% · 2022 91% · 2023 97% — diversifying over time.

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.

Where its funders are
95% of LIVINGSTON CENTER FOR ART AND 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $193k 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.
