What The Henry Gallery Association Inc does
Mission
In support of its mission to advance contemporary art, artists and ideas, the henry develops and presents exhibitions of contemporary art, maintains a 26,000+ object permanent collection, and offers education programs to serve a broad public audience, including an online constituency. Free admission is extended to the faculty, staff and students of the university of washington and to students at all levels of elementary and higher education worldwide.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The henry is globally recognized for bold and challenging exhibitions, pushing the boundaries of contemporary art, and being the first to premiere new works by established and emerging artists. Our exhibitions and programs present narratives often absent from public discourse, centering works by those marginalized by inequitable structures and systems, including artists who identify as women, people of the global majority (pgm), and lgbtq+. Education is fundamental to the henry's mission to connect our community to the power of art. We design public and educational programs around exhibitions as points of access to the museum and to artists. The henry strives to ensure that offerings reflect and attract the full spectrum of our community and that communities of color see the henry as inviting and inclusive. The henry served 40,905 visitors in fy2025. The organization continues to offer pay-what-you-wish admissions to lower financial barriers to access and we are always free for youth, students, and uw faculty and staff. Free programs served 860 people, helping maximize public benefit. Seventy-four school groups and community tours brought 1,150 youth to the gallery. Service…

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 $22M to $29M (+30%).
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 39% · 2018 32% · 2019 47% · 2020 43% · 2021 39% · 2022 42% · 2023 29% · 2024 35% · 2025 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $466k → $1.1M.
10 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
THE HENRY GALLERY ASSOCIATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
61% 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 HENRY GALLERY ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 46% · 2019 57% · 2020 43% · 2021 73% · 2022 33% · 2023 33% — broadly stable.
“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
75% of THE HENRY GALLERY ASSOCIATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
81% of THE HENRY GALLERY ASSOCIATION INC's grant income comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
