Overview
Mission
North shore (il) chapter of the links, incorporated, has been committed to delivering impactful, sustainable and transformational community programs. We take great pride in serving our communities with compassion and excellence. Our program initiatives are aligned with the links, incorporated five programming facets which include services to youth, the arts, national trends and services, international trends and services and health and human services.
What it reported doing in 2021
Our chapter currently provides programming related to human trafficking; minority health issues and disparities; science, technology, engineering and math (stem); art appreciation and global reach initiatives. Through the years we have provided scholarships to high school students and supported many cultural and civic organizations. Here are just a few of the chapters programming highlights:
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
