Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Macon, Georgia's International Cherry Blossom Festival works to enhance the quality of life, community fellowship, and civic pride of all Macon and Middle Georgia residents through the encouragement, development, and coordination of selected recreational, cultural, educational and social activities. Through each activity the Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the Macon and Middle Georgia Community by honoring "love, beauty, and international friendship".

  • Macon, Georgia's International Cherry Blossom Festival celebrated its 43rd festival as it showcased the best of Macon and Middle Georgia for 10 days, guests from all around Georgia, the country and the world celebrated the beauty of the Yoshino Cherry trees in Macon, Georgia, a town referred to by congressional records as the Cherry Blossom Capital of the World. The community and visitors celebrated the 41st festival by walking and driving the cherry blossom trail, participating in cornerstone and community favorite events, and joining in the fun of new programming put on by Macon, Georgia's International Cherry Blossom Festival and its umbrella, sanctioned events. With 80 percent of International Cherry Blossom Festival's in-house produced events free or at a nominal admission fee, all residents and visitors were able to put on their pink, join in the festivities, and celebrate "love, beauty, and international friendship", the Festival's founding principles.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
