Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

We operate with two part-time employees and three to four volunteers each night. Depending on the movie being shown, we will have an attendance of anywhere from 5-120+ people in one night. We operate our concessions and provide fresh, hot pizzas, popcorn, candy and soda for sale to our customers.

The program has grown considerably over the years and serves nearly all of the school districts in our county. We also provide a healthy snack for the weekends throughout the summer break during the months of Mid-May through August.
  3. $1,086 spent. Springfield Community for Families: This program sponsors family-friendly events and activities in our community. We sponsor seasonal events such as a Pumpkin Shine before halloween, which gives kids and parents a chance to celebrate the holiday in a safe manner by having a costume parade, costume contests, pumpkin decorating contests with prizes to the winners. Pizza and drinks are also offered to participants at no charge to them. We also offer a free movie and a visit from santa at Christmas, along with a goody bag of fruit and candy handed out to the children. We are trying to get things going again post-Covid and hope to come up with new, fun events for families.
