Overview

Mission

Support Smith Mountain Lake water safety and environmental projects.

What it reported doing in 2025

Vessel Pump Out: In coordination with the Virginia Department of Quality SMLA funds operations of several vehicles that pump waste from marine toilet holding tanks from house boats and other large boats. Disposal costs are included in this effort. Preventing sewage from entering the lake benefits all participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
