Overview
Mission
The arts and business council of greater phoenix grows leaders and inspires involvement to enrich the entire community of maricopa county.
What it reported doing in 2011
Business on board (bob) is a dynamic program designed to help create, build and sustain strong, effective boards for nonprofit arts and other nonprofit organizations. Since a "non-profit is only as good as the board," this innovative and comprehensive development and placement program is designed to identify, recruit, train and place a diverse pool of talented professionals as board members of nonprofit organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
