Overview

Mission

The mission of the organization is to provide for and enhance the recognition of the Southern Illinois Golf Course Superintendents as professionals, to advance the art of greenskeeping and the science of turfgrass management and to collect and disseminate information concerning efficient and economical management of golf courses and related environmental issues.

Monthly meetings are held to educate the members and provide members with the opportunity to discuss challenges facing them in carrying out their duties as golf course superintendents, in particular to maintaining and managing their golf courses.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
