01What it does

What The Chapter House does

Mission

The Chapter House is an art and community space for indigenous peoples and allies to appreciate art, convene and collaborate, celebrate individual and shared indigenous cultures, and explore the complexities of the 21st century indigenous experience. We host exhibitions, artist lectures, workshops, panel discussions, live music performances, poetry readings, and other community and art-oriented events.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. In 2023, The Chapter House hosted 13 arts and culture workshops and events in collaboration with 22 artists and educators, connecting with hundreds of members of los angeles's indigenous community and allies. We also opened our new physical space in echo park in los angeles to create a permanent place for indigenous peoples and allies to experience art and connect with one another.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2021 → 2023: the base held at 4 funders, grant income rose $44k → $50k.

4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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 CHAPTER HOUSE’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 CHAPTER HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

55% 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 CHAPTER HOUSE.

“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.

California out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $112k 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.
