ZION ART SOCIETY INC
EIN 81-1207812 · Arts & Culture (A20)
What they do
THE ZION ART SOCIETY WAS FOUNDED ON TEACHING THE PRINCIPLES of UNDERSTANDING and COLLECTING ORIGINAL, CONTEMPORARY ART. THE FIRST PRINCIPLE is THAT MANY DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ROLE THAT FINE ART CAN PLAY IN THEIR LIVES, IN THEIR HOMES, and IN THEIR WORSHIP. THE PRIMARY MISSION of THE ZION ART SOCIETY is to HELP EDUCATE INDIVIDUALS and FAMILIES ON THESE IMPORTANT ROLES. THE SECOND PRINCIPLE is THAT HAVING LEARNED to APPRECIATE FINE ART, MANY DO NOT KNOW WHERE to FIND IT. IN RESPONSE, THE ZIONS ART SOCIETY HOLDS AN ART COMPETITION and EXHIBITION BOTH to SHOWCASE THE BEST CONTEMPORARY FINE ART BEING PRODUCED, and to CREATE A SINGULAR EVENT for EXHIBITED ARTISTS to CHOOSE to SELL THOSE WORKS to THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES SEVERAL EDUCATIONAL EVENTS INCLUDING INTERVIEWS, DISCUSSIONS, TOURS, and SALONS BOTH IN PERSON ADN ONLINE to HELP SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $25,132 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
