Overview

Mission

Nc forestry association ensures healthy, productive, and sustainable forests.

What it reported doing in 2025

The services provided to members of the North Carolina forestry association include representation before local, state, and congressional officials, technical support and information on rules, regulations and laws that impact forest landowners and forest management, publications that keep members informed on forestry issues, an annual meeting to educate members on important topics and offer opportunities to meet peers, industry vendors and other members, development of international export opportunities, and review and qualification of several insurance products, including health insurance, offered to eligible members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 61% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
