What Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park &Museum does
Mission
Pyramid hill sculpture park & museum maintains an extensive permanent collection of outdoor sculpture and antiquities held for public exhibition, education, and cultural enrichment toward our mission of bringing people to art in nature. The outdoor collection includes more than 60 large-scale works by regional, national, and international artists, displayed across 470 acres of landscaped grounds. The park's indoor collection, exhibited within the pyramid house, features ancient greek, roman, etruscan, and egyptian artifacts that illustrate the historical evolution of sculpture. They are protected, preserved, and researched to further aid our understanding of the objects and to act as a resource for the local community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Pyramid Hill is a 470+ acre nonprofit sculpture park featuring a robust outdoor collection of modern and contemporary sculptures. Juxtaposing the modern outdoor sculptures is our indoor gallery space, famed Pyramid House (reopened in 2023), Fortified Hill (FH) exhibit, and flexible education and event space, in addition to a collection of Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Egyptian sculptures dating to 1550 B.C.E. Our Museum Gallery is a more recent addition and is an exhibition space dedicated to featuring different local and regional artists. Attracting more than 56,000 visitors annually, Pyramid Hill is the premier cultural tourist attraction in Butler County - unparalleled in the region as a place where art, culture, education, and nature intersect.The Park is open seven days a week, year-round with a focus on education and environmental sustainability. It provides summer programs for children and numerous special events throughout the year. The stunning landscape and unique architecture offer ideal backdrops for weddings, corporate retreats, meetings, family reunions, and celebration of life ceremonies.

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 2019 to 2020, from $8.1M to $10M (+25%).
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 0% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
51% of PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE PARK &MUSEUM’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $45k → $254k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE PARK &MUSEUM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 39% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE PARK &MUSEUM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 83% · 2019 86% · 2020 45% · 2021 46% · 2022 38% · 2023 33% — 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.
How long its funders stay
67% of PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE PARK &MUSEUM's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% give in more than one year at all.
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
50% of PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE PARK &MUSEUM'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. Of the $691k that is directly attributable, 97% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $691k 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.
