Overview
Mission
The mission of the BLPOA is to promote the physical and social welfare of its members, to maintain and protect their property and to care for and preserve Bass Lake. Although the BLPOA has had a few name changes, it has been in continuous operation since 1915.
What it reported doing in 2024
The BLPOA is a voluntary membership organization. The Association has no legal authority over anything beyond the fiduciary control of donated funds held against any possible lake demands, such as dam repairs or replacement. The BLPOA is completely seperate from the Bass Lake Improvement Board. This is your resource for BLPOA contacts, events and information. If you can't find what you need or just have a comment about the website, send an email to [email protected] or visit the Contacts page and submit an email to the appropriate contact person.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
