What it says it does

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).

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

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.
