Overview
Mission
The organization is a university club intended as an educational club for painting. We collect member dues and provide supplies to members from those dues. We also occasionally conduct fundraisers to donate to various charities.
What it reported doing in 2025
The club collaborated with 2 other clubs at Ohio State University to conduct a charity art sale. Members from each club contributed artwork, which our club then made large prints, small prints, stickers, and pins of. CTRL Paint paid all production costs, including printing and space reservations. From the profit (that is, the total revenue minus the production costs), 20% went towards paying the artists and the remaining 80% was donated to 3 different charities. The amounts donated to each were determined based on how much artwork from each club sold. $1278 was donated by CTRL Paint to the P.E.E.R Center. $206.56 was donated to Calfund, and $196.69 was donated to FreeArts -- these donations were made indirectly by giving the funds to each collaborating club, who then donated the money.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
