Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
