Overview

Mission

To promote a higher scholastic standard and more complete understanding of the field of animal science among student members, to promote animal sciences through the development of program activities and to bring a closer relationship among all students pursing animal sciences as a profession.

What it reported doing in 2020

Several livestock contests are held each year which promote a higher scholastic understanding of the field of animal science among student members. Many of the participants are 4h and ffa students as well as members of vt block and bridle. Tests are designed to evaluate student's knowledge of animal science by experts in the industry. The club is able to present youth with many aspects they would not otherwise be introduced to. The practice provided through these contests is a great asset. The contests are an excellent source of practice for youth in areas of public speaking, problem solving and confidence building.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 84% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
