Overview

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to protect the retirement benefits of the membership and to provide for the well-being of retired school personnel through their participation in legislative, educational, and social programs that seek to enhance their retirement and continued contributions to education in Baltimore city and the State of Maryland. The organization is also exempt for its service to members of the organization, local community, and schools in the Baltimore City Public Schiool System.

What it reported doing in 2025

Printing, and mailing of three different Newsletters for the Fall, Winter, and Spring to at least 700 active members and to other jurisdictions in the State of Maryland.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 67% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
