Overview
Mission
Western Iowa dairy alliance is a unified voice for western Iowa dairy producers to support farm families, engage with consumers, advocate for this essential industry, and build the next generation of leaders.
What it reported doing in 2024
Western Iowa dairy alliance (wida) promotes dairy business using three primary categories; consumer outreach, producer education, and member communications. Consumer outreach is achieved by hosting a dairy month open house, maintaining wida's website and facebook pages, supporting community events and youth programs, and hosting booths at the clay county fair dairy day and the siouxland home show. Producer education and support is done through annual meetings, a crisis preparedness workshop, a calf raising workshop, sponsoring education opportunities for members, representing members on local, state and industry association events and committees, and providing producers with information and input opportunities on policy and legislation. Member communication is done through newsletter and email updates to members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
