Overview
Mission
Primary exempt purpose - crn-i is an affiliate entity of the council for responsible nutrition and acts as the international arm of crn to further the general purposes of crn, which include providing science-based information to regulators, health care professionals, and the media, particularly to those outside of the u.s. Supporting the safety and benefits of dietary ingredient and food supplements, and to promote sound nutrition and food safety policies well grounded in science by government bodies and other decision makers.
What it reported doing in 2017
Crn-i has also developed translated abstracts of key journal articles relevant to international regulatory science for nutrients and food (dietary) supplements. Available on the crn-i website in english, french, spanish, chinese and arabic translations, these abstracts can point regulators toward sound scientific studies, regardless of which language they speak. Authors include crn staff, speakers at crn-i symposia, and additional u.s. And international experts in nutrition science. This activity accounts for 10% of crn-i's time and is performed by crn staff in Washington, dc.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
