Overview

Mission

The association firmly believes that manufacturers producing quality products, sold by trained and reputable distributors, and professionally installed by qualified contractors for satisified customers, will result in growth and longevity for the tile industry.

What it reported doing in 2025

The association serves its membership of tile manufacturers, distributors, contractors and others involved in the tile industry through educating its members and others on the latest techniques and developments in the tile industry. The association sponsors educational seminars, workshops, trade shows and an internet website. The association also publishes "tileletter", a monthly publication, as well as reference manuals and other educational materials.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 80% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
