What it reported doing in 2025
The Alaska society of professional land surveyors (aspls) is a professional non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the profession and science of surveying to benefit its members and the public. We encourage land surveying professionals and individuals interested in our profession to participate in our upcoming events, visit one of our monthly chapter meetings, and get involved. The aspls is committed to promoting continuing education, high standards of ethics and practice, legislative leadership, and community involvement to improve the practice within Alaska. In 2025, the aspls hosted a three day land surveying confernce in anchorage, Alaska with over 150 in attendance. Also each chapter of the aspls held meetings throughout the year with local members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
