Overview
Mission
The mission of the elk foundation is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage. Our mission includes conserving habitat, promoting elk management, and educating members on conservation and hunting.
What it reported doing in 2012
The rocky mountain elk foundation (rmef) raises funds to support its conservation mission through fundraising events in communities throughout the united states. Rmef volunteers hosted several grassroots fundraising events including member and sponsor banquets. Banquets are conducted to inform members on current conservation activities and to inspire members to help further rmef's mission.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
