Overview

To promote greater understanding and awareness of the unique nature of Arkansas's independent oil and natural gas producer and the market place in which they operate. To highlight economic contributions, foster efficient utilization of resources, promote a balanced approach to resource development and environmental protection and improve business conditions for its membership.

What it reported doing in 2025

To promote the common goals of protecting the co-equal and correlative rights of producers and owners so that each may timely recover his or her just and equitable share of production revenues, and of protecting themselves from legislative and regulatory threats to their existence.

Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
