What Philadelphia Sculptors Inc does
Mission
Educating the public about sculpture and promoting sculpture
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The 2025 5 into 1: 25th Anniversary Exhibition was a milestone event that was on display from June 14 - August 29, 2025. Returning to Moore College of Art and Design, our generous hosts for many years, we collaborated with them to recognize the special occasion of the 25th year of our long-running exhibition program for graduating sculpture students from Moore, PAFA, Tyler, UArts and UPenn. We identified artists who had participated in the 5 into 1 exhibitions over the past 25 years and invited a number of them back to exhibit current work alongside works selected from current graduating students. While UArts sadly no longer exists, we were able to include students who transferred to other colleges, but who would have been UArts graduates. Paul Hubbard, one of the founders of the program, was honored at the reception. Our curatorial team of Patrick Cabry, Mandi Hall, Jacintha Kruc, Gage Ramos and Jaymi Vilardo worked with Gabrielle Lavin Suzensky, VP of Creative Strategy & Rochelle F. Levy/Chief Curator at Moore, to plan and implement all aspects of the exhibition.
$1,850 spent39% of program spendingOn June 1, 2025, we began a new program just for PS members. With the generous support of John Wind, we collaborated with the Dina Wind Art Foundation for the inaugural event of PAST/PRESENT/FUTURE. About 40 PS members got together for an afternoon of art, conversation and community in the Foundation's art-filled venue in South Philadelphia. PS members shared their works in a "pecha kucha" (short slide presentations), and mingled with other PS members, creating new friendships and connections.
$0 spent0% of program spendingOur outdoor sculpture exhibition, TIMELINE, took place on the grounds of East Fairmount Park's Laurel Hill Mansion from July 18 October 17, 2025. A collaboration with the Women for Greater Philadelphia, the exhibition addressed themes related to the broader history and location of the Mansion. Twelve artists created works that presented their interpretations of issues that resonate today, including: roles of women and women's rights, slavery, the Abolitionist movement, labor and farming, trade and commerce, and the changing environment. The exhibition was juried by Nancy Agati and Rachel Zimmerman.

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 2018 to 2019, from $58k to $10k (−82%).
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.
100% of PHILADELPHIA SCULPTORS INC’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. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $11k → $30k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
PHILADELPHIA SCULPTORS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
62% 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 PHILADELPHIA SCULPTORS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 100% · 2019 53% · 2020 100% · 2021 75% · 2022 100% · 2023 66% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of PHILADELPHIA SCULPTORS INC's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k 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.
