Overview
Mission
TPRA's focus will be analyzing legislation relevant to our mission, compiling that information into public policy reports and disseminating to lawmakers and the public at both the state and federal levels. TPRA will use substantive, data-driven research to form and develop policy-making recommendations and communicate those recommendations to lawmakers and their staff and the general public
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
