The SBAC welcomes all to participate in the focused support of individual artists and arts organizations that contribute to the unique cultural ecology of our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The SBACs origins are as an ad hoc committee organized in 2007 in response to the changing landscape for arts funding in Santa Barbara. A series of community meetings and conversations were convened to discuss loss of arts funding; loss of affordable space; an identified siloing of resources, organizations, communities, and opportunities; and other concerns. In response, a group of artists, arts organizations and concerned citizens came together to identify new and innovative ways to sustain the arts for future generations. A need was identified in the community for an organization that existed to stand in the gapsone that existed to collaborate, find and foster new opportunities, and broadly work to build the health of the local art scene. Since that time, the SBAC has collaborated to pilot and grow dozens, if not hundreds of projects and eventssome of which have become lasting programs of the SBAC like the Community Arts Workshop,…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $312k to $159k (−49%).
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.
88% of SANTA BARBARA EQUINE ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION TEAM’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% 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 SANTA BARBARA EQUINE ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION TEAM’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 SANTA BARBARA EQUINE ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION TEAM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 94% · 2020 60% · 2021 54% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — 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.
How long its funders stay
20% of SANTA BARBARA EQUINE ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION TEAM's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
79% of SANTA BARBARA EQUINE ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION TEAM'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 $172k that is directly attributable, 76% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $645k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
