Overview

Mission

The purpose of the club is to participate in the best civic spirit of the community, and to support the efforts of local, state, and federal government to encourage friendship and social relations among its members to share and enjoy Italian culture, folkways, and traditions consistent with the principles and purposes of American Democracy to encourage the teaching and learning of the Italian language, to encourage and assist in the naturalization and orientation of those of Italian birth, to encourage goodwill among all Italian American organizations and to cooperate with all other organizations as may share our interests and objectives.

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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
