What Tulsa Girls Art School Project Inc does
Mission
Empowered by art, tulsa girls overcome barriers and discover life changing purpose and possibilities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
See schedule otulsa girls art school was founded in 2007 to provide a safe, supportive, and enriching after-school environment for under-resourced girls in the tulsa area. Originally focused on nurturing artistic ability and introducing basic financial concepts, the program has since evolved into a holistic youth development model. While art remains the core medium, the art school now integrates critical thinking, financial literacy, social-emotional learning, and self-discipline to equip girls and tools for life-long success. The school serves girls in grades third through twelve, with the opportunity for students to stay in the program for up to ten years. All programming, including transportation, supplies, meals, field trips, mentorship, and instruction, is provided at no cost to families. High school students are eligible to participate in a summer out-of-state trip that includes museum and gallery visits, artist workshops, and peer bonding experiences. This trip is often their first time traveling outside of their city. Throughout the year, students create and curate artwork for public exhibitions. A portion of each art sale is deposited into individual micro-savings…

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 $738k to $1.0M (+41%).
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 20% · 2021 14% · 2023 49% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
122% of TULSA GIRLS ART SCHOOL PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of TULSA GIRLS ART SCHOOL PROJECT 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.
How concentrated its funding is
TULSA GIRLS ART SCHOOL PROJECT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% 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
34% 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 TULSA GIRLS ART SCHOOL PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 83% · 2019 53% · 2020 29% · 2021 20% · 2022 21% · 2023 19% — 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.

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.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $143k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
