Overview
Mission
To promote old-time and traditional fiddle music.
What it reported doing in 2025
Washington State Fiddle Championships - This is the largest fiddle competitionin the State attracting the best fiddlers in Washington and beyond. Prizes were awarded to the best in 10 divisions from Small Fry to Senior and overall Champion.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
