What Cape May Jazz Festival Foundation Inc does
Mission
The cape may jazz festival foundation is dedicated to the mission of fostering an appreciation for, cultivating the discovery of, and celebrating and expanding the legacy of jazz, blues and folk music through the presentation of festivals and educational and cultural initiatives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program

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.
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 $1k to $21k (+1720%).
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: 2024 2% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
