Overview

Mission

Association of professionals advancing philanthropy by enabling people and organizations to practice ethical and effective fundraising. The core activities through which the organization achieves this mission includes: education, training, mentoring, research, credentialing and advocacy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
