Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch is to protect and share the resources of the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park to promote understanding of Carson Valley's agricultural history and to provide arts and cultural opportunities as a public park.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission of Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch is to protect and share the resources of the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park to promote understanding of Carson Valley's agricultural history and provide arts and cultural opportunities as a public park.

  • Historic Restoration, Preservation, and Maintenance. Much of the work conducted by Friends of Dangberg is focused on the restoration and long-term maintenance of the park's historic grounds and structures. In 2024-25, the major project, with an expense of $68,000, supported Douglas County's work repairing the foundations of the historic ranch house. A small storage shed was also purchased to support maintenance, and small repairs throughout the park were funded.

    Expenses $83,295

  • Cultural Programming. Each spring-summer, Friends of Dangberg organizes a series of public arts and culture events for presentation at the historic park. In tax year 2024-25, there were 30 of these events, including four music concerts, fourteen Chautauqua portrayals, a Chautauqua workshop, and ten author/historian presentations, with 2,018 people attending. The objective is to provide audiences with a variety of cultural experiences that include performing arts and humanities presentations.

    Expenses $47,532 · Revenue $14,265

  • Education Programs. Friends of Dangberg employs an education specialist is responsible for developing educational programs for youth, with an emphasis on third and fourth grade students in public, private, and home schools. In 2024-25, 499 youth (along with 209 accompanying adults) participated in structured field trips to the park, where they learned about ranching in the past, or they attended additional scheduled programs including a kite-flying weekend, agricultural heritage day, Western heritage reading, photography, and gardening events. In addition, staff made several in-school presentations focused on local history and living history portrayals (Chautauqua).

    Expenses $23,044 · Revenue $613

  • Friends of Dangberg, due to the generosity of others who donated specifically for this purpose, was able to make a donation/grant of $11,570 to Community Foundation of Northern Nevada (CFNN), a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The money was added the Dangberg Home Ranch Endowment Fund, which is owned and managed by CFNN to generate a return solely benefiting the publicly owned Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park, supporting restoration and other projects as possible. There were no other expenses and no revenue associated with this activity.

    Expenses $11,570 · Grants $11,570

  • Friends of Dangberg provided interpretive and collection management services throughout the tax year. Specifically, it provided professional management of the park's large historic artifact collection, and used these items to share the history of the Dangberg family and the local area via guided tours and other activities. In FY2024-25, accomplishments included continued management of and enhancements to the storage and control of the museum collection. A special exhibit in December 2024 highlighted unique items from throughout the collection. Expenses for interpretive and collection management services totaled $9,296, with no grants provided, and $2,530 in revenue.

    Expenses $9,442 · Revenue $2,530

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.

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 11 November 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.
