Overview
Mission
StreamWatch monitors and assesses Rivanna
What it reported doing in 2011
StreamWatch became an exempt organization in order to simplify accounting and financial reporting, facilitate staffing, adopt a more sustainable business model,
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
