Overview

Mission

Our purpose is to establish a civic organization to promote the common good of the State of Vermont, focusing on sound public policies to foster a strong economy and promote the general welfare of the State, and all the other lawful purposes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing public education opportunities around present and future economic, tax and business development policies in Vermont in the public and private sectors, through conferences, web site resources, marketing, newspaper opinion pieces, radio advertising, and in-person meetings around the state. These activities will further the organization's exempt purposes by enabling Vermonters to better understand current policies and grasp the need to work for improvements and changes to these policies, resulting in a stronger state economy and improved public welfare for Vermont and Vermont residents.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
