What Pamoja Art Society does
Mission
Pamoja Art Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to celebrating african-american culture, serving artists, and building a stronger community. The organization was founded in 1977 by a talented group of artists from northwest louisiana. Today, pamoja is a multi-discipline arts organization that serves more than 5,000 children and adults each year. Pamoja cultural arts center is the venue for pamoja's programs and a wide variety of community activities. The center is a leader in community development and the revitalization of the linwood village, a small, quaint business district in central shreveport.

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 2022 to 2023, from $169k to $267k (+58%).
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.
96% of PAMOJA ART SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
