Driggs snowscapes - the art of sculpting snow participants = 35 artists. Audience = 2,000 on finals day with 4,000 visitors over the course of 4 weeks. The 13th annual driggs snowscapes was held showcasing what makes teton valley unique and special, specifically its appreciation of snow, love for creativity and commitment to collaboration. Due to a lack of snow during the traditional mid-january timing for this event, dda made the decision to push the event back to the week of january which yielded more snow and big crowds. Seven teams of artists from idaho, wyoming, and oregon spent one week collaboratively transforming 8x8x8 or 6x6x8 foot blocks of solid snow into larger-than-life works of art. The high school students from st. Anthony, idaho returned for a third year to participate as a full competition team and won both the coveted people's and kid's choice awards. 55 local school children visited on field trips during the week. During the 3rd annual quick sculpt event 6 artists had 1.5 hours to carve a 4 foot-tall sculpture; it continues to be a very popular snowscapes addition. Professional sculptures were assessed by a team of 7 judges who awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $138k to $229k (+65%).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $3k → $62k.
3 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of DOWNTOWN DRIGGS ASSOCIATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
DOWNTOWN DRIGGS ASSOCIATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 DOWNTOWN DRIGGS ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 76% · 2023 89% — 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.
Where its funders are
95% of DOWNTOWN DRIGGS 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 $19k that is directly attributable, 89% of it comes from Idaho funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $385k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
