Overview

Mission

Professional membership organization

What it reported doing in 2024

The mission of the Connecticut Counseling Association CCA is to support and advocate for counselors and the counseling profession through promoting professional identity, providing opportunities for professional development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
