Overview

Mission

The Georgia Conference of Black Mayors, Inc. (GCBM) incorporated in 1986, is a non-political nonprofit membership organization for elected black mayors in the State of Georgia. The mission of GCBM is to enhance the executive management capacity of its members for the purpose of effectively and efficiently governing viable local governments.

What it reported doing in 2014

Technical Assistance Program - This program is designed to identify those member cities that do not have the capacity to seek and obtain much needed resources to improve the quality of life of their respective communities. GCBM can assist those member cities with grant writing, developing procurement processes and procedures, provide access to resources, and much more.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
