Overview

Mission

To organize and operate a charity tractor/truck pull, and to provide grants to other charitable organizations and those in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

The hillsboro charity tractor pull is an annual event where thousands of people come to the small town of hillsboro, Wisconsin to watch 3 truck and tractor pulls (friday evening, saturday afternoon and evening). Funds collected at the event is donated to local individuals and families experiencing personal hardship; anything from cancer to house fires.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
