$40,334 spent$37,441 earned by the program66% of program spendingGhost Walk: Ghost Walk is an annual event where the Museum hosts historic walking tours mixed with the haunted legends associated with many of Pleasantons Historic Buildings. There are 9 haunted locations where groups visit and hear from an actor portraying the spirit. The actor shared the history of the building as well as the ghost stories associated with the building. Some of our stories date back to the 1890s. The event occurs over 4 nights in the month of October and serves 1036 participants annually. In addition to providing historic walking tours to the public the program provides volunteer opportunities for youth actors who fill a majority of the acting spots along the route. The program takes 35 volunteers to put on every night and therefore is a great opportunity for members of the community to get service hours.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.3M to $1.5M (+17%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 45% · 2021 60% · 2022 40% · 2023 41% · 2024 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Amador Livermore Valley Historical Society.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
