Overview

Mission

Specifically organized to hold an annual communuity event known as the "Border Texan of the Year Award" to honor a Civic Leader (honoree) in Texas.

What it reported doing in 2019

This non-profit will recognize one civic leader in Texas annually, who has given unselfishly their time and talents through civic duty. The non-profit will raise funds primarily through dinner ticket sales. The proceeds raised will cover the costs of the annual community event and allow for the honoree to donate the net proceeds remaining to their chosen charitable nonprofit tax-exempt organization(s).

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
