Overview

Mission

We present a steam and gas festival the first weekend in august. During this time we demonstrate farming techniques from the turn of the century. About 5,000 people attend and learn about the farming and industrial history of our country.

What it reported doing in 2024

This statement of program revenue and expenses is the profit and loss associated with our annual fall festival. We hold a fall festival featuring displays of antique farming and manufacturing techniques from the turn of the century. The festival is three days long, we charge admission at the gate, and our program revenue comes primarily from the admission and food that we sell at the festival. There are no grants being paid to other organizations by the scott carver old threshers. All of the revenue stated on the tax return with the exception of interest, membership fees, and donations, is a result of the festival.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 72% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
