What The Camargo Foundation does
Program
The Camargo Foundation, founded by artist and philanthropist jerome hill and located in cassis, france, is a residential center. It provides time and space for artists, scholars, scientists and thinkers to think, create, and connect. The foundation's campus includes twelve furnished apartments, a library, an open-air theater, an artist's studio with darkroom and a composer's studio. The principal instrument for pursuing this mission is the camargo fellowship program, which offers residencies to seven artists and seven scholars & thinkers,for up 10 weeks each fall and spring. The camargo fellowship receives around 1000 applications every year. The foundation welcomes individuals including artists in any discipline and scholars & thinkers, including both advanced students and faculty from any country whose area of investigation embraces humanities in general, including crosscultural studies that engage the cultures and influences of the mediterranean region.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $20M to $16M (−18%).
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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $13k → $85k.
4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $234k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jerome Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE CAMARGO FOUNDATION raised.
From the IRS filings of THE CAMARGO FOUNDATION’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 CAMARGO FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
62% 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 THE CAMARGO FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 100% · 2019 51% · 2020 100% · 2021 45% · 2022 31% · 2023 30% — 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.
How long its funders stay
0% of THE CAMARGO FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
THE CAMARGO FOUNDATION draws 78% of its grant income from funders outside Minnesota, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $230k 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.
