Overview

Mission

Woodturning educational and training programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization hosts a biennial event, Turn on Chicago, a regional symposium featuring experts in woodturning to provide training, woodturning tools and equipment, and to expose the public to the art of woodturning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 73% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
