Program
The stickley museum at craftsman farms (smcf) is a national historic landmark and historic house museum, located on the campus of craftsman farms in parsippany, new jersey. Built by gustav stickley between 1908 and 1917 as the most complete expression of his "craftsman" style, the campus of craftsman farms provides an unmatched opportunity to experience stickley's ideas about the impact of architecture, design, and landscape on a meaningful life. In partnership with the owner of the property, the township of parsippany-troy hills, which rescued craftsman farms from private development in 1989, the museum works to interpret, preserve, and protect its original landscape and nine original buildings, including the log house, which is open for scheduled tours. The museum works daily to preserve and restore the craftsman farms' property and to interpret the property through its collections, tours, and programs, both online and on- site, which include lectures, panel discussions, trips, and courses covering a wide range of topics related to design, decorative arts, and architecture. Now in its 36th year, the museum is dedicated to serving its neighboring community, history and heritage…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.0M to $2.1M (+112%).
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 26% · 2018 28% · 2019 36% · 2020 24% · 2021 8% · 2022 46% · 2023 7% · 2024 14% · 2025 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 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.

From the IRS filings of THE STICKLEY MUSEUM AT CRAFTSMAN FARMS INC’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
75% 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 STICKLEY MUSEUM AT CRAFTSMAN FARMS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 72% · 2019 70% · 2020 68% · 2021 77% · 2022 48% · 2023 73% — 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
50% of THE STICKLEY MUSEUM AT CRAFTSMAN FARMS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
73% of THE STICKLEY MUSEUM AT CRAFTSMAN FARMS INC'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 $155k that is directly attributable, 90% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $425k 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.
