What The Toledo Museum of Art does
Mission
For 124 years, The Toledo Museum of Art has offered free admission to one of the world's great art collections housed in its greek revival main building and the glass pavilion. The museum has an extensive education program, offering curriculum-based school tours as well as adult and children's art classes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Toledo Museum of Art operates and maintains art galleries, studio spaces and an art library for the benefit of the general public. This includes educational scholarship, research, conservation, documentation and presentation of a permanent collection of art totaling nearly 24,700 objects.
$25,542,699 spent$2,625,062 earned by the program86% of program spendingWith an emphasis on art education, the museum integrates art into the lives of people. The family center offers art-based activities free of charge. While there is a charge for most formal classes, the museum has an active scholarship program to support students who would not have the access or means to pursue art classes. The museum also provides bus funds to local schools and community centers to allow school children the opportunity to tour the museum in docent-led curriculum. For this reporting period, the museum provided over 700 scholarships to its 2,000 class attendees and hosted over 700 docent-led tours for both children and adults, with approximately 14,000 attendees.

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 $292M to $363M (+24%).
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 7% · 2018 5% · 2021 10% · 2022 6% · 2023 1% · 2024 6% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
66% of THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (58% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 26 funders to 55 funders, grant income rose $1.5M → $4.0M.
18 of 95 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $13M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Libbey E D Endowment Fund Endw); $2.2M from 11 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Promedica Health System Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART raised.
From the IRS filings of THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 95 funders by total. 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 TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% 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 TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 33% · 2019 45% · 2020 32% · 2021 29% · 2022 25% · 2023 24% — diversifying over time.
“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
60% of THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% 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
90% of THE TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
