Terms and Methodology Disclaimer
ArtMetrics provides public-record analysis for diligence, transparency, and research. It is not a substitute for legal, accounting, investment, or grantmaking advice.
Public-record basis
Scores and alerts are derived from IRS 990 filings and other public-record data. They are indicators, not verdicts, and should be interpreted alongside source filings, organization explanations, board context, and current diligence performed by the reviewer.
Not legal, investment, or grantmaking advice
Nothing on ArtMetrics constitutes legal, accounting, investment, or grantmaking advice. Funding, hiring, and governance decisions should rely on independent diligence, professional advisors, and direct conversation with the organization, not on a single score or alert.
Score limitations
Governance and financial scores are estimates built from a limited set of filed data points. They cannot capture every operational, contextual, or qualitative factor that bears on an organization's health, and a low score does not by itself indicate wrongdoing.
Data freshness
IRS and state charity records can lag current operations by a year or more between filing and publication. An organization's current status may differ from what the most recent available filing shows.
No guarantee of completeness
ArtMetrics does not guarantee that its dataset is complete, error-free, or free of filing omissions. Source records may contain errors or omit relevant context that a filer did not disclose.
Correction rights
Organizations and reviewers who believe a record is inaccurate or missing context can request a correction. See Corrections and Appeals for the process.
