Overview

Mission

Conservation of area lakes

What it reported doing in 2024

Organization receives grants and public support to fund costs to control and prevent invasive species in local lakewater and to educate the public on the dangers of these invasive species to the natural lakebed environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
