What it reported doing in 2021
Through a harvest celebration, we provide a venue for multiple nonprofit organizations to raise funds. In 2021, eight nonprofits benefited from the festival. Mountain Harvest Festival also boosts the economy of our rural area by promoting the area's agritourism creative population, and recreation. Over 100 business have their most profitable week of the year, and many visitors return.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 68% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
