Overview
Mission
The grand rapids rowing club provides rowing programs for juniors and adults throughout the grand rapids area to promote wellness and teamwork.
What it reported doing in 2025
Expenses incurred in connection with rowing programs and regattas run by the organization.
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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
