What Sage Studio & Gallery does
Mission
It is sage studio's mission to nurture and amplify the voices of artists with disabilities, so that they may meaningfully engage with the social, economic, and creative life of the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Our charitable and educational arts program provides educational support, a workspace, artistic materials, and creative opportunities to its studio artists so that they can engage in artistic expression. The artists create their art at sage studio with all artistic materials provided to them. The sage team educates artists about the business of art-marking and selling. This education helps foster self-esteem and independence, especially financial independence, in participating artists, many of whom have had limited opportunities for employment and wage-earning.
$204,666 spent$27,572 earned by the program65% of program spendingOur exhibition program provides opportunities for our artists to earn income and to seriously pursue a career in the arts. The artists are paid a 50% commission, equal to the commission rate of traditional art galleries. Exhibitions take place in sage's gallery, on sage's website, and at other sites, both local and across the country. Sage artists have been represented at the outsider art fair in new york city seven times and in exhibitions in san antonio, washington, d.c., chicago, and los angeles.exhibiting artists must be at least 18, have an intellectual or developmental disability, live in the united states, and have developed an artistic practice. Marketing and selling their own art can be difficult for many artists due to the nature of their disability. Sage's program offers support to the artists and allows attendees to see the important artistic contributions of artists with disabilities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $61k to $133k (+119%).
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: 2023 7% · 2025 19%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
70% of SAGE STUDIO & GALLERY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $50k → $50k.
1 of 5 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.
From the IRS filings of SAGE STUDIO & GALLERY’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.
How concentrated its funding is
SAGE STUDIO & GALLERY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% 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 SAGE STUDIO & GALLERY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 50% · 2023 50% — broadly stable.
“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
73% of SAGE STUDIO & GALLERY's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16 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.
