Where its funders are
Upstage Arts Incorporated draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $198 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
