Overview

Mission

The fayette county sheriff's posse is an organization with the mission of fostering interest among its members in keeping alive the true traditions of the old west. The fscp (1) promotes good fellowship, good sportsmanship and a greater interest, both civic and social in its community, and (2) assists the fayette county sheriff, upon request, for any emergency deemed necessary. The fsc promotes civic and educational programs and encourages the education and training of fayette county youth, not only in the art of horsemanship, but also in the varied arts of citizenship, sportsmanship and everyday living.

What it reported doing in 2020

Rodeo and other competitive events: payments and support to various local nonprofit organizations and charities. College scholarships of $3,000 were distributed in the current fiscal year. Overall, the organization promotes and directs both civic and educational programs engaging county youth, not only in the art of sport of horsemanship and rodeo, but also in good citizenship, volunteerism and resonsibility in everyday life.

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 94% 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
