Overview

Mission

The st. Louis chapter, national electrical contractors association's (neca) mission is to represent, promote, and enhance the management and labor relations' interests of our electrical and communication contractor members and to coordinate the collective activities of the electrical contracting industry of eastern Missouri.

What it reported doing in 2025

Substance abuse - union workers move from employer to employer via union hiring hall frequently as projects complete and work loads shift. Neca administers substance abuse education, drug tests, and record keeping for union workforce on a pooled basis and documents the results for employers and customers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
