Overview

Mission

The welfare of the community at large

What it reported doing in 2025

The association provides services to the community much like a quasi governmental unit

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
