What The Center for Arts and Innovation does
Mission
To build and operate an innovative, vital, and flexible cultural campus that transcends function to enable creativity with no boundaries.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
During the current year, The Center for Arts and Innovation focused on both the next phase of design and development for its planned facility in line with their agreement with the city of boca raton while also advancing its capital fundraising initiatives to support the completion of design efforts and to prepare for construction. Building upon the significant milestones achieved in prior years, the organization concentrated its efforts on preparing and presenting its conceptual designs to both the community and the city, while also finalizing its business plan, cultivating major donor relationships, developing strategic partnerships, planning pre-opening programming, securing essential staff resources, and expanding its fundraising capacity. The center continued to engage community, business, and civic leaders in support of its mission to foster creativity, innovation, and economic vitality. These efforts have positioned the organization for the launch of its capital campaign and the realization of a transformative cultural and educational hub for the 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. 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 $6.4M to $16M (+151%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
87% 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 CENTER FOR ARTS AND INNOVATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 56% · 2021 70% · 2022 81% · 2023 77% — growing more concentrated.
“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
40% of THE CENTER FOR ARTS AND INNOVATION's funders are still giving 2 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
87% of THE CENTER FOR ARTS AND INNOVATION'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 $445k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
