Overview
Mission
Employee beneficiary association
What it reported doing in 2021
"sunshine" expenses include sending flowers to members upon illness, hospitalization, or death in the family. It also includes giving a retirement gift to all members retiring as active members in good standing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
