Overview

Mission

Support activities of the logan county fair association.

What it reported doing in 2025

The logan county fair foundation continues to maintain the grounds at the logan county fair. This program helps to ensure the safety, health & general welfare of local livestock exhibitors as well as the general public at the many judging competitions, petting zoos, livestock shows, livestock sales, preview shows and showmanship demonstrations which are annually held at the logan county fairgrounds. It is estimated that this program will have an impact on over 1,000 exhibitors and 10,000 visitors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
