Overview
Mission
The 7F Users Group was formed, and exists, to provide an open forum through conferences and technological aids, to the Owners/Operators of Frame 7F/7H/9F/9H/6FA generator systems for effective communication, discussion, and information dissemination regarding the operation, maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of such systems to maximize equipment performance and reliability. In furtherance thereof, 7F hosts a conference/convention each year, at which the members of the organization convene. The purpose of this conference is educational, but it also the site of the corporation's annual meeting, as well as any yearly elections. Otherwise, the activities of 7F are limited to monthly board meetings, which are open to all members of 7F.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
