Overview

Mission

Lna works in partnership with the secretary of state office regarding notarial policies and practices. In addition, they monitor alerts on legal issues to ensure that the members' practices are following the law and to protect them from costly mistakes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
