What Museum Hue Inc does
Mission
Dedicated to uplifting the voices of people of color in the arts and culture field by offering tools and resources in a supportive environment. We celebrate cultural diversity in the arts ecosystem and create pathways for those who need it most in the sector. Museum Hue works to improve the racial inequity in the field and promote people of color's cultural contributions, artistic practices, and historical narratives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
HueArts Leadership CohortsMuseum Hue completed its inaugural six-month HueArts Leadership Cohort in late 2024, a professional development initiative originating from the recommendations of the HueArts New York State research report findings. A total of 10 participants from New York State arts and cultural nonprofits in the cohort met virtually on a monthly basis, with guest speakers discussing topics such as boards, finance, development, and marketing. This cohort also had the opportunity to re-convene in-person in mid-2025 by attending the Museum Hue 10th Anniversary Symposium and Celebration and participating in a reunion workshop the day after. This reunion workshop included a discussion and tour with the Executive Director of 651 ARTS as well as other tenants of the new L10 Arts and Culture Center in downtown Brooklyn, including the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) and the Brooklyn Public Librarys Library for Arts and Culture. A second six-month HueArts Leadership Cohort also began shortly thereafter in late June 2025, this time with a group of 12 arts leaders from New York City-based nonprofit organizations of color.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $952k to $380k (−60%).
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: 2024 73% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of MUSEUM HUE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income fell $200k → $130k.
1 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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 MUSEUM HUE INC’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
MUSEUM HUE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 84% · 2023 62% — 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.

97% of MUSEUM HUE INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $35k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
