What Minnesota Street Project Foundation does
Mission
Minnesota Street Project Foundation works to strengthen the health and vitality of the artistic eco-system of the san francisco bay area through unique collaborations, public exhibitions, capacity building programming, artistic incubation, and direct grants and support of artists. We are dedicated to providing space for art and artists and nurture a campus environment as fundamental to a thriving creative sector.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Space and technology programming provides critical access to the space, technology, and tools necessary for artists, curators, and arts technicians to create and present new and developing work for public audiences. The exhibition program launched at 1201 Minnesota expands our initiatives designed to directly support arts production and collaborations that ensure new models for continued experimentation in the arts.

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 2020 to 2021, from $160k to $1.5M (+816%).
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.
64% of MINNESOTA STREET PROJECT FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

“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.
Where its funders are
96% of MINNESOTA STREET PROJECT FOUNDATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $762k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
