Overview

Mission

The Sausalito Womans Club focuses on civic involvement, social and conservation causes.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Sausalito Womans Clubhouse is on the national Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Julia Morgan and built in 1918. It is a wonderful meeting place for the community, and the club hosted Docent Tours for people interested in the buildings architecture and history, several weddings, local theater and poetry events. The building is now 100 years old and many club members focus on maintaining the clubhouse for the benefit of the club members and the community.

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 91% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
