Overview
Mission
International House Davis (I-House) is an international cultural center dedicated to nurturing the exchange of arts, culture, and ideas to build a culturally vibrant, globally-connected, and inclusive community.
What it reported doing in 2024
I-house cultural programs and events: i-house hosts artist-led cultural events including concerts, performances, lectures, and workshops showcasing art, culture and ideas from around the world on a monthly basis. International festival davis (i-fest) is a biannual festival that brings together performers and community organizations representing cultures around the world. Local cultural organizations create interactive booths to teach about cuisine, language, traditional dress, crafts, popular culture, history, and more. Two stages feature over 30 local musicians and dance groups that represent different styles of performance from around the world. Local food vendors sell food representing different culinary traditions and backgrounds. Each year, i-fest attracts more than 2,000 attendees from throughout the region and furthers the mission of global cross-cultural exchange, respect, and appreciation.
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 96% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
