Overview
Mission
To provide leadership and implement programs, services, and technologies to enhance the value, influence, and image of purebred durocs, hampshires, landrace, and yorkshires in all segments of the swine industry.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
REVIEW - 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.
