What Casa del Herrero does
Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
When visitors come to Casa del Herrero, or the "house of the blacksmith", they are transported back to montecito in the 1920's and 1930's - the heyday of the original owner george fox steedman. Designed by george washington smith, the casa is one of the finest examples of spanish colonial revival architecture in america. It is inlcuded on the national register of historic places and maintains national historic landmark status in part due to its eclectic mix of country place ara and moorish inspired gardens created by ralph stevens, lockwood de forest, and francis t. Underhill. Today, the 11-acre estate operates with the goal of preserving the house and grounds, as well as the steeman family's collection of fifteenth and sixteenth-century fine and decorative art objects from the "golden age" of spain, books, sketchbooks, drawings, and horticultural records. Casa del Herrero is preserved and stewarded for the benefit of the community. In a typical year, Casa del Herrero is visited by more than 2,500 people, which includes individuals taking the guided tour, school children ,and lifelong learners. Visitors on the guided tour inlcude the montecito and greater santa barara communities…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $820,588.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $6.3M to $7.8M (+24%).
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 6% · 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $146k → $161k.

From the IRS filings of CASA DEL HERRERO’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 48 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
CASA DEL HERRERO has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 21% · 2019 24% · 2020 22% · 2021 28% · 2022 29% · 2023 19% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
46% of CASA DEL HERRERO's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
83% of CASA DEL HERRERO's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $366k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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. 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.
