Overview
Mission
The mission of the Black Landscape Architects Network is to increase the visibility, support the interests and foster the impact of Black practitioners in landscape architecture.
What it reported doing in 2022
Utilized the BlackLAN channels to cultivate "thought content" on relevant issues to Black landscape architects and published content in the quarterly website news and other media to raise awareness domestically.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
