To advance the ideals and goals of veterinary medicine; to prepare its members to meet the social, moral, and ethical obligations of the profession; to represent the university of Wisconsin-madison ("uw-madison") school of veterinary medicine("svm") and its students at national conventions; to establish an affiliation between its members and the american veterinary medical association ("avma"); to enhance the characteristics of professionalism, leadership, and service in its members; and to celebrate and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion inside and out of the veterinary profession and provide a campus environment that promotes the success of students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
