Overview
Mission
Classical Greek & Roman Educational Programming
What it reported doing in 2024
Four Certamen Invitationals - each one- day quiz-bowl style competition: Saturnalia Certamen Invitational - 96 attendees; Hoosier Certamen Invitational - Canceled due to weather; Indiana Certamen Invitational - 109 attendees; Floralia Certamen Invitational - 55 attendees
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 70% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. 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.
