Overview

Mission

Architectural professional membership

What it reported doing in 2024

The objective of this chapter is to organize and unite in fellowship the members of the architectural profession, to promote the scientific and practical efficiency of the profession, and to advance the standards of architectural education, training and practice

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 64% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
