Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The small city of Coronado has been growing and rapidly changing over the past 50 years. As the town changes, CHA works to preserve the unique civilian and military history that would be forgotten with this work. The Coronado Historical Association is the only organization that preserves and educates about Coronado's unique history, including the civilian and military history. Without the Association these stories, historical items, and community touchstones would be lost. The Association serves all Coronodans, especially the underserved military families in town.

The Coronado Historical Association's goal is to save and share our local history, as a catalyst for uniting our community.

roots. As Coronado’s trusted historian, we safeguard our community’s heritage and history – the foundation of a dynamic, inclusive and vibrant society.

Our organization focuses its strategies on adult and youth education, exhibitions, and collecting to accomplish these goals.

The Association's highly trained staff and committed local community volunteers shape the Coronado Historical Association into the premiere and only local organization to accomplish these goals.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
