Overview
Mission
To invest in Minnesota transportation infrastructure professionals in order to ensure continued industry excellence, innovation, integrity, and leadership through 1) awarding scholarships to attract and build tomorrow's industry leaders and 2) connecting and engaging industry professionals through networking, soical, and educational events.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive profession continued through the 125th invest fund, which focuses on broadening mses' reach and diversifying our workforce by supporting students. We invested 13,500 in 2023, 20,000 in 2024, and are excited to announce that in 2025 we will invest an additional 30,000 to further expand these efforts. In 2024 we awarded 18,000 in scholarships to 7 deserving students, supporting their educational goals and fostering the next generation of leaders in our field. In 2024, mses was notified that we received a generous promise to pledge in the amount of 144,914.45. In 2025, the mses board will assemble a group to discuss how to honor our mission by using these funds to further the transportation infrastructure industry in Minnesota.
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 86% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
