Overview

Mission

The isaa network is a non-profit organization that advances the science of adjuvant agrochemicals through knowledge dissemination.

What it reported doing in 2024

The primary activity of the isaa network is its symposium which takes place every three years. This conference brings together 600 of the foremost experts in the adjuvant research domain. It will consist of more than 100 presentations including speeches, poster sessions, and networking engagements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
