Overview

Support charitable organizations
What it reported doing in 2024
The winterhaven festival of lights is the longest running festival of lights in the country, having run continuously since 1949. More importantly, however, is the fact that the primary purpose of the festival is to gather food and donations for the community food bank of southern Arizona.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
