Overview
Mission
We Make Ramsey County Happen
What it reported doing in 2024
Member communication & involvement activities - necessary to keep members & affected employees informed of their rights & responsibilities
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
