Overview

Mission

To represent the interests of small businesses and help them through daily business life with primary focus on their human resource needs, compliance solutions, and having the right resources to thrive in the Michigan business community.

What it reported doing in 2022

Member based small business organization on hiatus, pending dissolution

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
