Overview

Mission

Charitable and community activities.

What it reported doing in 2024

ADMINISTRATIVE & FUNDRAISING - The Chapter is currently funded by the concession stand program, annual membership fees, grants from the Groove Phi Groove International Office, and general individual donations. The Chapter pays all costs associated with chapter administration, program operations, donations, and related administrative expenses. During 2024 our fundraising through the concessions stand program returned fully. Our outreach to organizations continued as reflected in the Charitable & Community programs. We did many administrative activities virtually. Expenditures included our organizational obligations to the GPhiG International office ($550); IT (communications) costs to improve and maintain communications a new website ($1,005); committees activities ($1,614); fundraising (non-event type) expenditures ($175); memorials, sickness & family relief ($400); GL & bonding insurances ($657); DC Govt biennial Corp Fees ($210); P.O. Box and mailings ($236); Bank fees and inter accounts transfers ($5), and other transactions ($20).

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 64% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
