Overview
Mission
The purpose and pledge of the southwest conservation club is to promote true sportsmanship and principles of broad conservation, to promte legislation designed to conserve and restore wildlife in our coverts and waters, and to promote and cooperate in the beautification and purification of our rivers.
What it reported doing in 2024
The southwest conservation club maintains the use of the organization's grounds for the conservation and caring of a variety of different animals (owls, bats, fox, geese, groundhogs, martins, and other wildlife). The organization also has implemented and maintains a fish stocking program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
