Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

With the support of families, businesses, and community groups, Childrens Fairyland caters to the boundless potential of young children.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Children's Fairyland's mission is to stimulate a child's imagination, creativity, and desire to learn. We engage more than 220,000 visitors annually. Since 1948, Childrens Fairyland continues to hold fast to its founding vision to be a magical fantasy world for young children.

  • Park programs and Operations:The very first storybook theme park in America, Fairyland's main program is to provide families with young children a safe, creative place to play and learn. We serve more than 200,000 visitors annually. Children engage with our story-themed play sets, activate talking storybook boxes with the icnonic magic key, see puppet shows, observe our gentle animals, and climb, slide, run, and play.

    Expenses $2,178,921 · Revenue $1,896,992

  • The community outreach program focuses on increasing access to Fairyland and funding field trips and other programming for underserved schools and communities. In addition, our thriving children's theater program provides affordable performing arts education and opportunities for children 8 to 10 in our own Aesop's Playhouse. Children's Fairyland Summer Camp is committed to promoting children's imagination and social emotional skills. We offer exciting thematic sessions in a three-week period. Events at the Park include Puppet Shows, Bedtime Stories, Special Performances, Annual Events (which includes our popular Halloween Jam), and Summer Sleepovers. The facilities are available for catered birthdays and Park rentals. Guests can arrange exclusive use of the entire park for their Birthday, Wedding, or other special event.

    Expenses $975,516 · Revenue $661,286

  • Children's Theatre Program:Fairyland engages up to 30 enthusiastic children as part of its year-round Children's Theatre program. Fairyland personalities receive over 50 hours of performing arts training with professional artists and educators, and the program encourages children to portray characters from folklore and children's literature in stage productions at the Park, at community events, and during visits to senior centers and schools. The Park follows all county health protocols to ensure safety. Performances run July through October.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $0 raised

    2024 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $0 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $3,000 raised

    2023 CF Vehicle Donation Program

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    2022 CF Vehicle Donation Program

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    2021 CF Vehicle Donation Program

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    2020 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $1,427 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $2,275 raised

    2019 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $1,081 to charity

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

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.
