Overview
Mission
Education
What it reported doing in 2024
The mission of Mac-A-Cheek is to promote research and educational experiences through historical life stories, period cultures, and the natural environment surrounding the Mac-A-Cheek Valley.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
