Overview

Mission

The New York State Local Government Information Technology Directors Association (NYSLGITDA) is dedicated to the coordination and improvement of information technology to carry out public services in Municipal, School, Community College, BOCES, and Authorities in New York State.

What it reported doing in 2025

Held two technology education conferences for the benefit of local government.

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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
