Overview

Mission

The community's mission is to promote and foster recreational, athletic, and other activities for members and their families; to manage, maintain, protect, and preserve the community and its properties and facilities; and to operate and maintain, or provide for the operation and maintenance of, any common areas or facilities held by the community for the benefit of its members.

What it reported doing in 2024

The community provides recreational and social activities, administers common services, and maintains common facilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
