Overview
Mission
To protect citrus crops from phyto-sanitary risks imposed by the potential entry into the united states of citrus fruits from infected production areas.
What it reported doing in 2018
The organization successfully protected the u.s. Citrus industry from the threat of invasive pests and diseases posed by the potential entry of fruit from some south american countries into the u.s. This was accomplished by working with usda regulators in Washington, d.c. And through various political and legal strategies employed as events required.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
