Overview

Mission

The North Dakota Birding Society promotes the study of birds in North Dakota, stimulates public interest in birds, and fosters the preservation of birdlife and its natural habitat.

What it reported doing in 2023

Keeping the NDBS website active to provide information to NDBS members and non-members about the birds present in North Dakota.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
