What Master Gardeners of Clark County does
Mission
Agricultural, education and training
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Agriculture, education and training. These are the major purposes of the organization. It is only logical that the majority of the expenses that were paid were for these activities.
$60,297 spent97% of program spendingSeveral yeas ago, we started purchasing benches to be placed along the walkways throughout the gardens. Last year, we were asked if individuals would be permitted to purchase them in honor or memory of loved ones or friends. This seemed like a good fundraising activity. Several benches had been placed on pads, that are adjacent to the sidewalks. All we needed were the plaques identifying the individual(s) being recoginized with the bench. Next year, 2026 a new line item has been established so that we will be able to track the purchasing of the benches by individuals (listed under account number 154a). The purchasing of the additional benches and plaques will go against account number 254a. During 2025, account number 254 was used. There was 900 spent for plaques. We received 1900 for the benches sold.
$900 spent1% of program spendingWe had intended to add more sidewalk during this year because we received donations that would cover the majority of the cost. An agreement between the cement contractor and mgv. He offered to donate a section of the walkways which would have completed the sidewalk we wanted. Unfortunately, his schedule and the weather prevented this from happening. Next year, we will have the walkways. Another activity we have started was music in the gardens. This was an outreach into the community to provide free music entertainment. A freewill donation was collected during each performance. The months of june through august were times these programs were held. The cost of the program was 1228 most of which was collected but it was not a fundraiser. It was a way of giving back to springfield for their support. The payment came from account 203b and the donations were placed in account 103.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $69k to $136k (+97%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
46% 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 MASTER GARDENERS OF CLARK COUNTY.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
