What The Ministry of the Kordada Inc does
Mission
The Ministry of the Kordada Inc. Is a collaborative effort of the weird and wonderful, intended to draw attention to, revitalize, and partner and flourish with, local artistic enclaves and forgotten peoples around the world. Tmok was born out of the (cont. Sch o) desire by a small group of los angelinos to breath life, art, and beauty back into a distressed community, bombay beach, ca.bombay beach is a small town of 300 residents that resides on the shores of the salton sea. The salton sea is a looming ecological disaster, filled with toxins such as accumulated drifting waste and lifeless rotting sea creatures. The biennale program seeks to bring attention and resources to bombay beach. The founders of tmok have purchased land in the town, that will be made available for use, by tmok artists and creatives it supports. The intent is to rehabilitate and enhance these spaces in order to create permanent works of interactive art that can be enjoyed by locals and visitor's year- round.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Ministry of the Kordada Inc. Is a collaborative effort of the weird and wonderful, intended to draw attention to, revitalize, and partner and flourish with, local artistic enclaves and forgotten peoples around the world. Tmok was born out of the desire by a small group of los angelinos to breath life, art, and beauty back into a distressed community, bombay beach, ca through the biennale art festival.the underlying emphasis of the festival is to enhance the local environment in order to bring intrinsic value back to this once-popular southern california destination. The kordada will continue with its efforts to fund raise for the future biennales with the goal to increase the donation pool, the per donor (continued on schedule o) amount, and the tourist numbers to the town for local commerce. It is not possible to put a timeline or any statistics to the derived benefit of the underlying program, as it is also highly improbable, due to its environment, that bombay beach will return to its once upon a time "destination" status in the immediate future. But a good effort is being made to put it back on the map and provoke discussions about the ecological issues it faces.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2018 to 2019, from $6k to $143k (+2148%).
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.
100% of THE MINISTRY OF THE KORDADA INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2018 → 2019: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $20k → $67k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $23k 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.
