Overview
Mission
The purpose for the Invitational is to host an annual golf tournament for the energy industry in the Houston region. This is primarily for gathering the industry's colleagues for networking and relationship building.
What it reported doing in 2011
The Invitational was able to give a portion of its proceeds to the Vision 4 Ahslynn foundation. In addition to the direct funds given, we provided an auction for the charity which also generated in excess of $2400 in monetary donations at the event.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
