Overview

Mission

The Society for Mathematical Biology's mission is to promote scientific collaboration between the mathematical and biological communities.

What it reported doing in 2022

The Society publishes a highly regarded scientific journal, "The Bulletin of Mathematical Biology". There are 12 issues each year available both online and in paper editions. The Society pays the publisher for subscriptions for all members. The publisher remits royalty payments to the Society based on the income generated from the Bulletin. These royalty payments provide the Society with funds used to provide travel support for students participating in the Society's annual conference and other Mathematical Biology related meetings. The Society also uses some funds to provide honoraria to plenary speakers at the annual conference and support conference travel of its officers, board members, and presenters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
