Overview
Mission
The problem we solve is unrealized potential; the outcome we help our members achieve is speaking and business success. The solution we deliver is a place that uplifts our members to be a better speaker and build a better business. We do this through Community Content Connections and Certifications.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Association grew in membership by 50% in the 2024-2025 fiscal year
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
