Program

  1. Since its inception in 1991, the mission of Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta has been to promote santa fe as a world class culinary destination and to market the santa fe restaurant community. As a nonprofit, we can continously support our community and industry throughout the year with several initiatives ranging from auction donations and fundraising to educational programs and financial contributions. Over the last 11 years, santa fe wine & chile's live auction has raised more than 245,000 for santa fe's cooking with kids organization. Cooking with kids educates and empowers children and families to make healthy food choices through hands-on nutrition education with fresh, affordable foods. Over the last 10 years, santa fe wine & chile has supported dozens of other non-profits in their fundraising efforts by donating tickets to fiesta events to be used in silent and live auctions. Since 2010, santa fe wine & chile has invested time and resources into furthering the education of the local restaurant community through wine 101 courses and funding certifications through the court of master sommeliers. To-date, over 200 students have participated in these programs with over 110k spent…

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k 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.
