Overview

Our mission is to unite the holders of the athletic letter awards from Mississippi state university into an organization for the mutual benefit of the university and those attending Mississippi state university. We aim to foster and perpetuate a spirit of understanding and cooperation between the university, the student body, other alumni, and the general public. We move to promote the university by keeping informed on the policies, both athletic and academics of the university. We strive to improve the confidence of the general public in all endeavors of the university and to assist the university and the athletic department by encouraging the enrollment of outstanding student-athletes.

Assisting the university and the athletic department by encouraging the enrollment of outstanding student-athletes and conducting the administration of the Mississippi state sports hall of fame.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
