Program
Founded in 1976 by the ukrainian national women's league of america, the Ukrainian Museum has served for nearly fifty years as a cultural home in the east village. We steward one of the largest collections of ukrainian cultural heritage outside ukraine over 8,000 folk art objects, 3,000 fine art works, and more than 30,000 archival documents. Our work spans centuries, from ritual textiles and traditional dress to modernist painting and contemporary photography. We aim to serve as both a scholarly resource and a welcoming public space where everyone is welcome - a place where ukrainian heritage meets contemporary dialogue, where folk traditions sit alongside cutting-edge art, and where people connect across cultures through our collections and programs. (continued on schedule o)our vision positions the museum at the forefront of preserving and strengthening ukrainian cultural agency, where ukraine is seen not as a monolith but as a cosmopolitan culture that takes in other cultures and gives in return.the museum's location in the east village is central to its mission. For over a century, this neighborhood has been a hub of ukrainian cultural life, while also playing a pivotal role…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2021 to 2022, from $17M to $16M (−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: 2019 2% · 2020 4% · 2021 19% · 2022 2% · 2023 10% · 2024 4% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of UKRAINIAN MUSEUM’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $16k → $90k.
8 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 57% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of UKRAINIAN MUSEUM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 26 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
UKRAINIAN MUSEUM has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 30% 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
64% 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 UKRAINIAN MUSEUM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 59% · 2018 73% · 2019 47% · 2020 36% · 2021 46% · 2022 61% · 2023 56% — 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 UKRAINIAN MUSEUM's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% 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
57% of UKRAINIAN MUSEUM'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 $397k that is directly attributable, 56% of it comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $528k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
