Overview
Mission
The BHS Alumni Picnic is under the Bethel High School Alumni Association and kept as a separate organization to keep financing separate. As stated already this was our last picnic and the Association discontinued due to the lack of volunteers taking over. Our picnic was held every other year. No officers ever received payment for their work. Since this was our last picnic we turned the balance of funds into the BHS Scholarship Fund.
What it reported doing in 2025
To host a biannual Bethel High School Alumni Picnic open to all Alumni and their guess for a time we can see each other again.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
