Overview

Mission

PACE (Parishes Advocating for Coastal Endurance) exists to unify Louisianas coastal parishes as a strong voice to advocate for continued coastal restoration funding, education and policies that sustain our coastal communities for the future. The mission of PACE is to provide Parish Presidents, Mayors, and Police Jury officials in Louisianas twenty Coastal Parishes an active forum for education regarding common coastal issues related to land loss and resiliency, for the exploration and proposal of workable solutions for these common issues, and for advocacy in both the State Capital and in Washington, D.C. to secure commitments and funding necessary to alleviate these unique coastal problems for the benefit of all Louisianas coastal residents.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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.
