What El Rancho de Las Golondrinas Inc does
Mission
To preserve the legacy of the land and the cultural traditions of new mexico.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
El rancho de las golondrinas, inc. (the organization) is a living history museum located on 500 acres in a rural farming valley just south of santa fe, new mexico. The museum, dedicated to the history, heritage and culture of the 18th and 19th century new mexico, opened in 1972. Original colonial buildings on the site date from the early 1700s. In addition, historic buildings from other parts of northern new mexico have been reconstructed at las golondrinas. Villagers clothed in the styles of the times show how life was lived on the frontier in early new mexico. Special festivals and weekend events offer visitors an in-depth look into the celebrations, music, dance and many other aspects of life in the spanish, mexican and territorial periods of the southwest. In 2022, the museum was listed on the new mexico state register of historic places and national register of historic places by the u.s. Department of the interior.

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 2017 to 2018, from $22M to $19M (−13%).
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: 2017 3% · 2018 5% · 2019 2% · 2020 4% · 2021 21% · 2022 5% · 2023 1% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $138k 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.
