Overview
Mission
Encourage bicycle riding, organize rides and tours.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Valley Spokesmen hosts an annual Cinderella Classic & Challenge which is a "women only" single day cycling event offering 65 and 95 mile options. The Cinderella Classic has become what is arguably the premier "women's only" cycling event in the country promoting the sport of cycling to women of all ages. This is a totally "supported" ride with fully stocked nutrition and hydration rest stops, roving sag support and post ride banquet. A portion of the registration fees are distributed to support local women's non-profit organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
