What it reported doing in 2025
Annual Conference & Trade Show: The NC Agritourism Networking Association's premier event, the Annual Conference, serves as a hub for education and collaboration among farmers engaged in agritourism. This event features a day-long series of educational sessions designed to enhance the knowlege and skills of our members in various aspects of agritourism. Alongside the sessions, a trade show presents the latest services and technologies pertinent to agritourism businesses. The conference culminates in a day of guided farm tours, offering attendees real-world insights and learning opportunities from established agritourism operations. This blend of classroom learning and field experience fosters a community of practice and innovation in NC's agritourism sector.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
