Overview
Mission
SIM NY holds monthly meetings and other in-person / virtual events to provide members (200+) and guests the opportunity to network, share ideas, and listen to speakers on topics relevant to the information technology industry. As a national nonprofit membership association chapter for Technology Executives and Industry Leaders we develop, enable and empower exceptional technology leaders. We pay it forward in part by providing mentorship and support to the next generation of leaders through national alliance partners (e.g., NPower, Genysis Works, Technovation, etc.) and local organizations that focus on STEM education in the local community. See www.nysim.org and www.simnet.org for more details.
What it reported doing in 2025

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
