Overview
Mission
Jackson council 609 raises money for charity through annual fund raising events. We donate the proceeds from these activities to organizations that provide services to the mentally and physically impaired, special education programs, religious organizations, seminaries, food banks, respite centers and various other charitable organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
