Overview

Mission

Azpoa is a united professional association of probation employees assembled to provide representation and advocacy for fair compensation and improved working conditions.

What it reported doing in 2024

Member support, including improving working conditions, wages, economic and personal security, and to ensure the safety of its members in the workplace. The association promotes participation in activities of a benevolent, educational, charitable, civic, patriotic and fraternal nature.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 91% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
