The festival comprised twelve concerts held on Monday evenings from June 17 through September 2. The programs included a special Violin and Organ concert with San Diego Symphony Concertmaster Jeff Thayer and orchestra, a jazz concert, an accompanied silent movie and concerts featuring opera, classic rock and popular music. The Spreckels Organ Society paid for the artists' fees, hotel accommodations and other production costs. There is never an admission charge for our concerts. 178457 0 0 The primary programmatic function of the Spreckels Organ Society is providing Sunday and special concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion on our world-famous organ. This is done in coordination with the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department. The city pays the civic organist to perform on Sundays, but the Spreckels Organ Society pays the bulk of the organist's compensation. We also pay for extra expenses such as hand programs, additional musicians, vocalists and holiday decorations. The Spreckels Organ Society also provides additional events and concerts throughout the year. In addition to the San Diego International Summer Organ Festival, the Spreckels Organ Society presented several special concerts on Saturdays and holidays during 2024, including Halloween, December Nights and Mother's Day concerts. The Spreckels Organ Society also pays for the organ curator for special concerts. 1100 1100 0 The Spreckels Organ Society third program is scholarships for organ students. Each year, the San Diego chapter of the American Guild of Organists holds a competition for young organ students, and the Spreckels Organ Society awards scholarships to the top three contestants. The 2024 scholarship winners were Isabella, age 6; Yuhan, age 11 and Aska, age 14. 9100 0 0 For many years, the Spreckels Organ Society has presented a special program for students, focusing on Title I schools. It includes a demonstration of how the organ works and a mini concert. In 2024, we received a grant to purchase an Orgelkids pipe organ kit, which is a small scale, fully functional organ that teaches valuable STEAM skills while children build the organ in a small group. The goal of the education program is to provide high-quality, accessible music exposure programs for San Diego youth, fostering creative expression, confidence and academic success. 9100 0 0 532602 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 30 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Jean Samuels 6197028138 1549 El Prado Ste 10 San Diego CA 921011661 X Raul Prieto Ramirez Artistic Director 60 X X 153000 0 11778 Mitch Beauchamp Trustee 2 0 X 0 0 0 William Devor Trustee 6 0 X 0 0 0 Dennis Fox Trustee 9 0 X 0 0 0 Elisabeth Jacobsen Trustee 2 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Kilian Trustee 2 0 X 0 0 0 David W Stout Trustee 10 0 X 0 0 0 Randy Ward President 15 0 X X 0 0 0 William Willis Trustee 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Gordon Stanley Vice President 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Larry Halford Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Joyce Kelly Trustee 3 0 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Stoughton Vice President 39 0 X X 0 0 0 Jean Samuels Secretary 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Dwight Gordon Trustee 6 0 X 0 0 0 Joanna Dullum Trustee 3 0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Warschauer Treasurer 12 0 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Hay Bauer Trustee 16 0 X 0 0 0 Mike Castillo Trustee 11 0 X 0 0 0 153000 0 11778 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 49519 508136 0 557655 Tour of the inside of the organ 711190 6060 6060 0 0 0 0 0 0 6060 58474 0 0 58474 0 0 0 0 149 0 0 149 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 292081 0 118784 0 173297 0 173297 0 0 173297 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 795635 6060 0 231920 X 0 0 1100 1100 0 0 0 0 164778 156539 8239 66281 66281 1530 1130 340 60 15053 11119 3349 585 10123 10123 123947 114524 0 9423 29643 29643 27062 20896 6166 4031 218 2483 1330 9122 9122 16923 16923 5402 1531 3871 Organ improvement/repair - re-leathering 81586 81586 0 0 Spreckels Organ Pavilion renovation 47553 47553 0 0 Concert program printing 17839 17839 0 0 Artist lodging and transportation 10915 10915 0 0 22552 21086 1466 655440 532602 103201 19637 215671 1017 116773 313041 0 0 0 0 123000 105000 0 0 0 0 16480 16480 2100 2100 101045 53629 25337 47416 4358495 5287724 0 0 0 0 0 0 8720 4857856 5781498 0 44089 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1480 924 1480 45013 X 1255321 1319702 3601055 4416783 4856376 5736485 4857856 5781498 140195 739914 0 0 0 0 X X 0 0 0 X 156174 810212 307969 485304 522110 2281769 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 156174 810212 307969 485304 522110 2281769 63186 2218583 48775 50720 54586 45533 58475 258089 0 0 0 0 0 0 33549 42110 5070 0 0 80729 2620587 0 0.84660 0.87544 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 There was no other income in 2024 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4475267 109424 894030 0 190997 0 5287724 3326448 174648 1097181 0 163010 0 4435267 4400046 90542 -979171 0 184969 0 3326448 3260647 641510 725589 0 227700 0 4400046 2719800 25000 594847 0 79000 0 3260647 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101045 53629 47416 0 0 0 0 47416 0 Credit card payable 924 924 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 There are four endowment funds.
