Overview

Mission

The mission of the Georgia professional sports integrity alliance (gpsia) is to educate and advocate for the legalization of mobile and online wagering in the state of Georgia.

What it reported doing in 2020

During 2020, gpsia successfully promoted and moved forward proposed legislation in the Georgia general assembly which provides for legalization of intrastate mobile sports gambling while incorporating detailed, significant provisions safeguarding the integrity of professional sports in Georgia. These efforts led to the promoted bill receiving multiple hearings in appropriate committees of the Georgia senate and receiving a positive vote out of committee to the Georgia senate for consideration. All revisions and modifications to the proposed legislation preserved all items directed at protecting the integrity of professional sports in Georgia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
