Overview

Mission

Build on the strengths and opportunities derived from sharing the same community. Build on the uniqueness and power of our combination of institutions. Communicate the combined value of the member institutions to the community and positively connect the campuses and the community. Stimulate problem-solving for shared challenges on and off the campuses. Function as a clearinghouse for information and resource sharing and a convening for shared interests. Work on behalf of students, faculty or staff members in two or more institutions with an emphasis on projects with specific goals and outcomes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Professional development workshops and collaborations for personnel and students of member institutions. Cross-registration opportunities for students, inter-library loans, connecting key departments across all member institutions for discussions around shared resources and ideas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and total assets are large relative to annual expenses, but may not be spendable cash. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
