Overview

Mission

Provide homeowner association information and education to association members, homeowners, and the community at large.

What it reported doing in 2025

Professional course offerings: the organization holds multiple professional courses for its members to attend throughout the year. Professional course revenue consists primarily of registration fees and course sponsorships, and the organization's performance obligation is fulfilled upon delivery of the course to its members. Registration fees are generally collected in advance of the course date. Amounts received before a course is conducted are generally recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
