The daughters, known as Ticktockers, are groups of 24 girls from each grade level (7th grade to 12th grade.) The primary purpose of the organization is to provide philanthropic work and donations to various local charitable and community organizations. The NCL chapters provide trained volunteers in local communities and develop those volunteers into future community leaders.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
