Overview

Mission

Indianola beach improvement club is a non profit corporation registered in the state of Washington in 1927. The original purpose was for "the establishment and maintenance of a library, reading room, a place of social and community meetings, and to conduct all community activities as are usually connected with, or grow therefrom." our all volunteer expanded mission is to foster community responsibility among residents, maintain properties for their use, and to support other non-profits (free or reduced facility rent, publicity, donations).

What it reported doing in 2024

The main expenses with our function are those of occupancy and maintenance of open spaces, tidelands, playgrounds, clubhouse & post office for this unincorporated village of about 1,800 people. We hire a private security service during the summer to keep our residents, guest, and the properties safe and secure. We sponsor a recycling program in addition to providing waste management for our community areas. Our clubhouse is an official red cross emergency shelter with an installed generator and written emergency procedures. We operate on a "no deficit" yearly budget approved in advance by the governing board. Revenue from community events and facility rentals is reinvested in occupancy expenses.

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 - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
