Overview
Mission
Texas forestry association's mission is to provide information and promote interest in forestry and forest products.
What it reported doing in 2024
Printing of the logging council's monthly tabloid - "the Texas logger" (included as printing, salaries, payroll taxes, and pension).
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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
