Mission

To gift no-cost vacation stays to adoptive, foster, and special needs families. In 2021 we began fundraising for the purchase of a vacation home to be owned by the nonprofit and used for the use of adoptive, foster, and special needs families to stay at for vacation at no-cost. In 2022, we began partnering with other vacation home owners who are donating time at their vacation homes for our Getaways program. In 2024, through the Getaways program, we served 10 families with no-cost vacation stays at various vacation homes around the country. In 2025, we served 7 families by gifting no-cost stays around the United States. Cherry Blossom Vacations pays for the cleaning fees associated with these stays making it no cost to the owner or guests. Our current expenses are mainly administrative associated with fundraising and the expenses related to guest's stays in the Getaways programs (began 2023).

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
