What Cherry Blossom Vacations Inc does
Mission
To gift no-cost vacation stays to adoptive, foster, and special needs families. In 2021 we began fundraising for the purchase of a vacation home to be owned by the nonprofit and used for the use of adoptive, foster, and special needs families to stay at for vacation at no-cost. In 2022, we began partnering with other vacation home owners who are donating time at their vacation homes for our Getaways program. In 2024, through the Getaways program, we served 10 families with no-cost vacation stays at various vacation homes around the country. In 2025, we served 7 families by gifting no-cost stays around the United States. Cherry Blossom Vacations pays for the cleaning fees associated with these stays making it no cost to the owner or guests. Our current expenses are mainly administrative associated with fundraising and the expenses related to guest's stays in the Getaways programs (began 2023).
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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.

Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $115k to $271k (+135%).
