Overview

Mission

Section 509a2 - a Public charity which receives substantial revenues from a combination of contributions membership fees and gross receipts from activities that further its exempt purpose. The mission of the North Caucasus Association of America is to preserve represent and celebrate the history and culture of the people of the North Caucasus.

What it reported doing in 2023

The main program that NCA has is teaching cultural dance. So the money we receive from Dance dues we pay for rent.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
