Mission

Chick-owa sportsman club was formed to promote and encourage gun safety both on the range and in the field.

Operating model

Revenue model: Membership-supported. 63% 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. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
