What they do
HARRISBURG HARVEST FESTIVAL: THE HARRISBURG HARVEST FESTIVAL TRACTOR and TRUCK PULL HAS DEEP ROOTS IN LINN COUNTY, STARTING BACK IN 1982. WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN ON and OFF YEARS for THE EVENT, IT WAS REIGNITED IN 2013 BY LOCAL FARMER and BUSINESS OWNER, KURT KAYNER. IN EARLY AUGUST EACH YEAR, FARMERS, LOCALS, PULLING ENTHUSIASTS and A WHOLE LOT of FANS FROM ALL OVER THE PNW COME TOGETHER IN A FIELD JUST ONE MILE NORTH of HARRISBURG, OREGON. HERE, THEY WILL PUT THE STRENGTH and POWER of THEIR MACHINES (TRACTORS AND/OR TRUCKS) to THE TEST WHEN THEY HOOK UP to A PROGRESSIVE COMPETITION PULLING SLED to SEE HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY CAN PULL. WHETHER ITS A 70-YEAR OLD ALLIS CHALMERS, A MODIFIED GARDEN TRACTOR or A SHINY BRAND-NEW HALF A MILLION-DOLLAR VERSATILE, YOU MIGHT SEE IT AT THE HARRISBURG HARVEST FESTIVAL. LOCALS OFTEN BRING THEIR DAILY DRIVEN 4WD DRIVE PICK UPS. PROFESSIONAL PULLERS TRAVEL FROM SEVERAL STATES AWAY, SOMETIMES WITH AN EXCESS of 1500 HORSEPOWER, and BRING THEIR MODIFIED PUL

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
