Overview

Mission

The mission of the Tennessee agritourism association is to promote quality growth and development of agritourism in Tennessee by building farm income through agritourism, expanding tourism income within rural communities, and establishing a sustainable, long-term program.

What it reported doing in 2023

Providing information, networking, education, and other activities that support agritourism operations.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
