Overview

Mission

Preservation of Town History

What it reported doing in 2025

The entire public is benefitted by enjoying the Historical Society Museum, its gift shop, its model railroad track, and learning about the history of the city of Show Low, as preserved and presented by the Society.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
