What Space-Ship Inc does
Mission
Promoting art and educating the public by providing short term gallery spaces for emerging and marginalized artists.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
Space-Ship Inc was dissolved on march 16, 2020 and ceased activites in 2021.prior to the dissolution the organization promoted art and educated the public by providing short term gallery spaces for marginalized artists, giving them a platform to engage with and market to a myriad of communities that might not ever see or experience their artwork otherwise. The corporation and its community also provided a digital platform for up-and-coming artists to exhibit work and exchange ideas. Through the corporation's installations, programming, and educational initiatives, it engaged local communities: its larger goal being to create genuine connectivity between individuals and groups, facilitating conversations spanning different upbringings, backgrounds, and perspectives.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
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 $55k to $9k (−83%).
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 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2019: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $30k → $61k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

SPACE-SHIP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 93% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“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
100% of SPACE-SHIP INC's grant income comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k 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.
