Overview

Mission

As a local affiliate of the MA Teachers Association and National Education Association, we collect dues from members and collectively bargain for members in the "teacher" unit in Danvers Public Schools.

What it reported doing in 2024

Students of Danvers Public Schools or DTA member dependents are eligible to apply for a college scholarship of $500 to help defer expenses of further education. Six scholarships were given out this year with an emphasis on students entering education as a career.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
