Overview

Mission

Non-profit business league

What it reported doing in 2024

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
