Overview
Mission
To educate, engage and empower the people of metropolitan atlanta to address and solve regional issues.
What it reported doing in 2012
The organization sponsors periodic local educational forums and regional studies. Tuition and fees for these programs are used to defray their costs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 90% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
