Overview

Mission

Education, research, amd publication of genealogical information

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing a physical and online library of genealogical information consisting of books, journals, local family histories, computer and copier access to online resources. Publishing research and articles of interest.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
