What it reported doing in 2025
The NCWBA Midyear Meeting is held in conjunction with the American Bar Association's (ABA) Midyear Meeting. The Midyear Meeting serves as a forum for professional growth, diversity, equity and inclusion discussions and networking among members and leaders. As an ABA affiliate, the NCWBA contributes in discussion on policy. Program directly benefited 102 participants and indirectly benefited 18 member organizations with an estimated combined total of 8850 members.
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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
