What Michigan Cares for Tourism does
Mission
100% volunteer, 100% give-back partnership between michigan tourism organizations where we come together to help restore michigan's historic attractions, learn about a michigan tourism destination, and network across our industry segments to ultimately enhance the visitor experience, and be more involved professionals.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Contribute to the annual clean-up/renewal of a non-profit michigan tourism attraction/site in an industry volunteer clean-up event.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $42k to $30k (−27%).
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.
95% of MICHIGAN CARES FOR TOURISM’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (95% for the typical peer).
