Overview

Mission

Slovenska pristava owns, maintains, manages and administers real and personal property, which shall serve for educational, religious, social recreational and health purposes, especially for the youth of slovenian schools and other youth, and (continued on schedule o) the organization also serves for adult americans of slovenian descent as is described in more details in the organization's charter.

What it reported doing in 2024

Slovenska pristava serves to be a cultural center for slovenians in greater cleveland and north america. Slovenska pristava is home to many cultural events, picnics, fundraisers, and religious events. These events highlight an array of slovenian culture, traditions, and music/art. The grounds and swimming pool are maintained as per the slovenska pristava bylaws to offer a property where slovenian families can remain rooted in their ancestral heritage. Groups that utilize the slovenska pristava grounds vary from local slovenian parishes/slovenian schools, a slovenian missions fundraising organization, slovenian fraternal organizations, regional slovenian groups, as well as slovenska pristava itself. Various groups (musical, dance, folklore) from outside of the united states (continued on schedule o)(slovenia and canada) come to perform for individuals of both slovenian descent as well as non-slovenians. Slovenska pristava maintains a state of the art facility with chapel, modern swimming pool, campgrounds, cultural center, sporting facilities, and access to the grand river in order to create an atmosphere similar to what is found in slovenia itself as well as being user friendly for our guests and renters.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
