Overview

Mission

Celebrate and promote Pomeranian cultural heritage

What it reported doing in 2024

Pomeranian Heritage Day: Host a free fair to celebrate and promote Pomeranian culture. Provide folk music and dance performances and appropriate food and beverages. Members are available to answer genealogical research questions. Typically, more than 1,000 people attend this festival.

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 98% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
