Overview
Mission
The mission of the Pacific Islanders Cultural Association is to develop and perpetuate through education and support the histories, cultures and traditions of all Pacific Islanders, mainly through its annual Aloha Festival.
What it reported doing in 2024
San Francisco Bay Area Aloha Festival - special event featuring Pacific Islander culture, music, food, dance, crafts and language to educate the community and perpetuate the culture. Estimated attendance: 15,000-20,000 people during one weekend each year.
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 82% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
