Overview

Mission

To be New Jersey's foremost organization promoting advocating and providing education for planning, designing, construction, operation and maintenance of high performance building and communities that are environmentally responsible, cost effective, productive and healthy places to live, learn and work.

What it reported doing in 2019

Sponsored workshops to enable participants to obtain education in the LEED (internationally recognized green building certification) certification process. Sponsored throughout the year at various locations in NJ to provide owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measureable green building design, construction, operation and maintenance solutions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
