Overview

Mission

To enhance the long term vitality of a two-state region. The nonprofit facilitates knowledge sharing to build strong economic bases among communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Collectively, this association represents a deep pool of economic development know-how and experience. More than 300 business and community leaders in eastern Washington and northern Idaho are members. Educational meetings, programs and seminars are the core offering. These forums provide a means to share ideas and experiences, and forge new partnerships. Topics include technology, financing community initiatives, forging regional partnerships, local business expansion and retention, job recruitment, and much more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
