Overview
Mission
The mission of the Indiana Dresage Society is to foster national and international amateur sports competition under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or corresponding section of any future tax code.
What it reported doing in 2025
IDS held 4 Large dressage shows and 3 small schooling shows. The Indy Dressage Classic and Indiana Dressage Festival are large nationally recognized competitions that attract participants from Indiana and surrounding states. In 2022 the shows had approximately 65 horse and riders competing and about 30 IDS members serving as volunteers. The 3 small dressage shows are primarily for IDS members and those new to the sport. These shows have approximately 30-40 horses and riders attending with about 10 IDS members serving as volunteers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 84% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
