Overview

Mission

To organize and manage the annual National Retriever Championship Competition.

What it reported doing in 2024

National Retriever ChampionshipHeld Saturday, November 9-16, 2024 in Giddings, Texas.About 100 of the best retrievers in the country and their handlers who've qualified during the past year compete in over a week of testing, including 10 different scenarios, with the winner to be named the National Retriever Champion. The outdoor competitions are designed to showcase hunting instincts in the retriever breeds, which principally will be made up of Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. These canine athletic events originated in England in 1866. Dogs are judged on four hunting components: accurate marking of multiple fallen game ability to handle on blind retrieves efficiently, style, and the ability to work together with their handler as a team.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
