What Trustees of the Tw Wood Gallery does
Mission
Community enhancement through the exhibit of art from the collections and contemporary artists, arts education and community engagement.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Educational Programs: Approximately 250 children sessions were attended in art education programs over the course of the year (after school, breaks and summer camps). These programs were designed to stimulate the imagination and creativity of our youngest constituents. This was especially crucial as flood struck Montpelier's downtown in July requiring a safe place for children to go during the day while adults dealt with cleanup.

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 2023 to 2024, from $683k to $636k (−7%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 10% · 2022 5% · 2023 13% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

96% 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.
