What The Art Resource Center does
Mission
The Art Resource Center is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to inspiring creativity and sustainability by providing recycled art materials to educators, artists, and community programs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Art Resource Center which started in 2004 began as an organization that collects and recycles art materials to teachers that could not afford supplies. Since then, the space has grown to 4,000 sq ft and reaches not only teachers but also students, artists, and community programs. Through the help of several volunteers, the arc now serves an estimated 250,000 individuals annually including over 50,000 youth. Not only has the orgnanization provided to those in need but it also supports environmental sustainability.
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $13k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 THE ART RESOURCE CENTER’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
THE ART RESOURCE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 72% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 98% · 2021 98% · 2022 96% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“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
THE ART RESOURCE CENTER draws 82% of its grant income from funders outside Arizona, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
