Deaconess - formally known as the thompson rest home for the deaconesses. Built in 1882 by the reverend john thompson, the deaconess was initially designed to provide lodging for methodist deaconesses. Expanded to include a school of missions and a girl's camp, the deaconess is the oldest cottage in mountain lake park. The building was a prominent part of the mountain lake park victorian movement, offering a place for religious and educational offerings. The Mountain Lake Park Historical Association, inc. (mlpha) now owns the building and is its new home.

Originally resurrected by the maryland humanities in 1995, a modern maryland chautauqua was established. After twenty-six (26) years, the virtual event in 2020, was the final season. Mountain lake park residents and volunteers who assisted with the 2019 chautauqua program decided to make the weekend festival an annual event and re-named the victorian chautauqua. The two-day festival features live music, historical lectures, re-enactors, artists, heritage demonstrations, and historic trolley tours. All parking and festival activities are free to attend.

Bethel center - ame church - one (1) african methodist episcopal (a.m.e.) church existed in the oakland area from the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. The a.m.e. Church was the only "colored" church for african americans where sunday services, weddings, baptisms, guest speakers, schooling and end-of-life services were provided. As the congregation diminished, the a.m.e. Church became a vacant building. The empty building was relocated, in 1935, to an amish farm in pleasant valley where it became wheelwright's shop to repair buggies and harnesses. In 2022, the town of mountain lake park mayor and town council purchased the building. The building was dismantled and deconstructed. The a.m.e. Church was renamed the bethel center and sits in its permanent location in the historical district within mountain lake park. A re-dedication ceremony was held on september 23, 2024, which was 124 years from its original dedication in 1900. Ps revenue = 0 ps expenses = 2,434 2.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $65k to $242k (+273%).
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: 2024 23% · 2025 45%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $7k → $10k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK HISTORICAL ASSOC’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
MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK HISTORICAL ASSOC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK HISTORICAL ASSOC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
73% of MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK HISTORICAL ASSOC'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Maryland funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
