Overview
Mission
Educate individuals with construction technology and to provide certification programs for professionals seeking to improve their knowledge of accurate and concise construction documents.
What it reported doing in 2024
Monthly Chapter meetings allow members, who are a cross-section of specifiers, architects, engineers, contractors and building materials suppliers the opportunity to communicate openly with their counterparts and exchange information for successful project management. CSI provides continuing education, professional conferences and product shows.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 80% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
