What Montana Gaelic Cultural Society does
Mission
This organization promotes irish culture, including irish dance, history, language, and music. This organization is ran entirely by volunteers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The major achievement is a state wide irish festival that is held annually to promote irish culture and history. There is an estimate of about 12,000 individuals that attend. There is music and classes to attend that promote the irish culture. There are also several irish dancers that are helped by this organization. Irish language classes are also held throughout the year.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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 2022 to 2023, from $150k to $194k (+29%).
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.
82% of MONTANA GAELIC CULTURAL SOCIETY’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
