Overview
Mission
To support the niobrara county fairgrounds and its activities by helping make improvements to the county owned facilties and/or the purchase of needed equipment. Public support through the foundation's fundraising efforts and requests for contributions will be solicited.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fundraising efforts have been successful since organization in 2021. We have provided support in excess of $226,000 to the county fairgrounds by 12/31/25. We have cash going into 2026 and will continue necessary support. The fairgrounds facilities are used by the community in many ways and our support has enhanced community use and community benefit.
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
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
