Overview

Mission

Beneficial conservation and development of renewable resources within Nebraska.

What it reported doing in 2024

Credit card, fax, grant, information and technology, insurance, legislative, litigation, lobbyist, management fees, registrations, rent, supplies, taxes, and telephone.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
