What The Eyebeam Atelier Inc does
Mission
Eyebeam ensures artists become central in the invention and design of our shared future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Fellowships and residencies: our flagship program, offers socially conscious artists working with technology the freedom to create from anywhere. It encourages risk-taking and experimentation while connecting artists to a vibrant global alumni community. Rapid response: a swift programmatic response to covid-19, providing urgently needed resources to artists who were developing real-world solutions in the face of the global pandemic as well as the protests in support of black lives. Our aim in distributing cash among many artists has been to not only support them through this crisis but also to generate ideas and projects that rebuild or enact solutions to existing digital systems, thus improving the publics lived social experience and interaction with technology.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $2.0M (+94%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 4% · 2018 4% · 2020 5% · 2021 9% · 2022 12% · 2023 4% · 2024 9% · 2025 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of THE EYEBEAM ATELIER INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (55% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $767k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
