Overview

Mission

Uniting in a central organization of all qualified bowlers in the state of Iowa, to create, maintain and increase interest in the game of bowling, and to promote, conduct, manage and/or sponsor annual bowling tournaments for members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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 - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
