Overview

Mission

Northwest Motorcycle Association (NMA) works in Washington State to preserve and expand public land access and off-highway motorcycling recreational opportunities—informing, educating, and organizing riders, helping oversee user-funded off-road riding infrastructure systems (NOVA and RTP), and advocating to keep public lands open for responsible off-road motorcycle use.

What it reported doing in 2023

Recreation: the nma oversees points-keeping for amateur off-road motorcycle competition events and recreational trail rides. These events promote the message of riding opportunity preservation.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
