Overview

Mission

To organize orienteering events and promote the sport of orienteering in the Pacific Northwest.

What it reported doing in 2025

28 orienteering meets were held throughout the year including 5300 individual starts. We also include a series for high school and ROTC. We provided scholarships for student members to attend national meets. Our club has about 460 members. We have created orienteering maps for many areas in the Puget Sound area and in the Cascades. We are one of the larger clubs in the US based on meet entry statistics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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.
