What Arizona Junior Rodeo Association Inc does
Mission
The arizona junior rodeo association is a statewide non-profit organization that has been in existence for over 50 years! Ajra is comprised of cowboys & cowgirls between the ages of 4-18 years. We are committed and dedicated to developing (continued on schedule o) (continued from 990 page 2) arizona's youth in the sport of rodeo, as well as preserving the western lifestyle. We strive to build interest, understanding, and appreciation for the western life, teach responsibility, sportsmanship, hard work, and family involvement.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The arizona junior rodeo association (ajra) provides competitive rodeo opportunities for arizona youth ages 4 to 18. During the fiscal year, the organization had 82 members and hosted eight two-day rodeos in rural communities across the state. Contestants pay an entry fee and are divided into four age groups to ensure fair competition. Each day, participants compete in selected events, with the fastest times determining winners. Prizes include cash awards and items such as buckles, horse blankets, or buckets. Youth train for each rodeo. Points are awarded based on performance and accumulated throughout the season. These points determine winners for each event and the all-around champion. Top point earners are recognized at the final rodeo with awards such as saddles, buckles, and prizes honoring their commitment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 $42k to $143k (+241%).
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.
19% of ARIZONA JUNIOR RODEO ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

ARIZONA JUNIOR RODEO ASSOCIATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
65% 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 ARIZONA JUNIOR RODEO ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 87% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
65% of ARIZONA JUNIOR RODEO ASSOCIATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $6k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Arizona, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
