What it reported doing in 2025

Fishing tournament - this event directly fulfilled our mission to introduce citizens to the great outdoors and promote the sport utilization of freshwater fish. The tournament served as a hands-on educational platform where members and the public were reminded of proper fishing techniques, tackle preparation, and the strict observation of current state sport fishing and game laws. By facilitating this interaction between younger and older generations, the event successfully fostered community engagement, volunteerism, and a shared appreciation for wildlife and natural resource conservation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
