Overview

Mission

The mission of the Pawtuckaway Lake Improvement Association is to monitor and act upon environmental and safety issues that affect Pawtuckaway Lake, to educate the public on conservation, protection, and improvement of water quality, natural shoreline, wildlife habitat recreational resources, safety, and natural resources as they pertain to the welfare and interest of Pawtuckaway Lake.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our Lake Host program is conducted in coordination with NH Lakes. This program administers volunteer and paid lake Hosts whose responsibilities include identifying various invasive species on boats motors and trailers, removing such invasives and collect and report their findings. During the last season, inspections were conducted on over 85,000 boats. This monumental task helps prevent the spread of invasives from one lake to another, Unfortunately, an invasive plant called Milfoil has invaded Pawtuckaway Lake resulting in the need for continued monitoring and detection.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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.
