Overview
Mission
To unify, foster, promote, improve, further and enhance high standards of perfection, efficiency and cooperation between all phases of the rabbit and cavy industry in California. Cal State Convention weekend isn't just about shows and competition, it's about friendship, networking and connections. Exhibitors, judges and others come together to enjoy the weekend, learn from each other, provide support and just have fun! Rabbit Friends.jpg Time spent with rabbits and cavies is never wasted. Learning and Development for our Youth Members The annual Convention is a fantastic opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our youth members by providing them with a number of Youth Contests, similar to those offered at the annual ARBA Convention. Cal State encourages those those youth who are new to our hobby and seasoned veterans alike to participate! Education.JPG.
What it reported doing in 2020
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to provide education to youth and adults on the raising and showing of healthy rabbits and cavies.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
