Overview

Mission

Educating and promoting ethical fundraising techniques.

What it reported doing in 2025

Workshops of approximately four hours in length that focus on developing donor retention plans based on tracking overall gains and losses in gifts and donors, and then using that informaiton to develop strategies to improve donor retention.

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 92% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
