What Rangoli Foundation for Art & Culture does
Mission
Rangoli Foundation for Art & Culture, based in Los Angeles was established in 1985 by artistic director, Malathi Iyengar. Rangoli Foundation is dedicated to presenting and fostering the performing and visual arts of India. In India, the antiquity of the visual art 'Rangoli', symbolizes Beauty, Hope, and Tradition. This symbolism has been an inspiration to name the company 'Rangoli'. Rangoli Foundation is committed to developing cultural awareness and inter-cultural dialogue through the artistic expressions of dance, music, theater and visual arts. Its strength is in drawing resources from diverse cultures to creatively engage in a collaborative process to preserve and share traditional works through a variety of arts experiences, including public performances, festivals, workshops, teaching, and residencies. For more than two decades, Rangoli Dance Company has performed extensively in India, Canada, and United States presenting traditional Bharatanatyam classical dance of India as well
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $55k to $36k (−33%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $950 → $13k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 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.
