CultureCount Data Update
The financial data for cultural nonprofits have been updated in CultureCount to include FY2010, thanks to the IRS Form 990 filings that we obtain from the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS). 
  • To access the financial data: Sign in and click on "Financial Information" on the CultureCount homepage. Or, sign in, do a Search and click on "Financial Information" on the results page. 
You can see the financial data grouped by location, and use the findings to help advocate for investments in cultural assets in your community. These data not only add more organizations to the CultureCount database, they are also updated every year and analyzed for NEFA economic impact reports - a win/win!
