Overview
Mission
To represent the common interests of machine manufacturers and related tooling and supply companies serving the stone industry with the purpose of communicating a unified voice regarding industry events and trade shows.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Stone Equipment & Supply Alliance planned and organized its annual industry trade show to be held in November 2027. During the year, the organization secured exhibitor participation, coordinated event logistics, and promoted networking and educational opportunities that further its exempt purpose of supporting and advancing the stone equipment and supply industry.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
