Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Red hot released a sprawling album, transa, with over 100 artists and 4 hours of music to support the trans community. The artists involved ranged from some of the biggest stars such as sade, sam smith and andre300 to lesser known trans artists. The album generated tens of millions of streams and was recently nominated for a grammy award. We also produced and distributed a 6 lp box set as well as a series of merchandising. The project was supported by listening parties across the u.s. And live events at the getty museum in la and at power house in brooklyn.we also continued our series of albums paying tribute to the legendary musician sun ra, with the album outerspaceways incorporated with laurie anderson, terry riley and a legion of important musicians and artists. The cover was created by the well known visual artist lorna simpson.finally, we collaborated with the kronos quartet and the nobel committee to produce and release two versions of bob dylan's song, hard rain, about anxiety over nuclear war. The tracks brought together over fifty artists including ringo star, willie nelson, iggy pop, ocean vuong and asha bhosle.

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 $441k to $598k (+36%).
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.
24% of RED HOT ORGANIZATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 RED HOT ORGANIZATION 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.
Where its funders are
100% of RED HOT ORGANIZATION INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k 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.
