Overview

Mission

The Goblin Court fosters community, sustainability and accessibility for creatives through affordable, curated, art-focused events.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025, Goblin Market grew from a small, 1-200 person pop-up event in the parking lots of local businesses to a blockbuster event drawing crowds of 5-6,000+ each month. Outside of the monthly market, we also continued to host multiple speed friending meet-ups across Central Florida to foster community and partnered with Waste Knot Orlando to host regular clothing, physical media and home goods swaps, keeping items out of landfills and in the hands of folks who can put them to good use.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 94% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
