Overview
Mission
The club operates a cooperative hatchery to stock trout in waters open to public fishing. It owns 1.5 miles of stream frontage upon which it permits and encourages public fishing. The club holds an annual kids fishing derby that is open to the public to introduce children to fishing. The club owns a rifle range for the benefit of its members. The club provides trout, free of charge, to other charitable and nonprofit organizations for use in childrens' fishing derbies.
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 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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
