Overview
Mission
Eastern Washington University Alumni Association (EWUAA) is the official body that encourages and fosters lifelong involvement of the alumni with the university. The Association serves as a link for alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the community through communication.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Association supports and enhances Eastern Washington University through engagement with EWU Alumni. The Association hosted several engagement events during the fiscal year. Alumni engagement helps to determine potential financial supporters that may be able to contribute funds to support activities such as student recruitment, retention, and scholarships.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
