The organizations reported receiving economic resources primarily from private and individually donated funds (both 38%). Nearly one-half of their projects are dedicated to arts and culture, and nearly 80% of their activities support the Mexican community.

Table 3 shows that individuals with only high school education or lower report very little participation in artistic or cultural activities. As educational level increases, the proportion of individuals participating in all types of arts practice increases. Those individuals who migrated more recently are more likely to report attending formal or informal arts and culture activities or creating arts and crafts as compared to others.

Table 4 shows that Spanish speakers report fewer people in their support groups having knowledge of artistic and cultural practices, though bilingual speakers report the highest number of individuals in their support groups with this knowledge. As educational status increases, the frequency of individuals in a support group that have knowledge of artistic and cultural practices increases, from 66% for those with elementary school education to 80% for those with college degrees.
