Overview

Mission

To operate and maintain a rowing association to instruct and promote rowing as an athletic endeavor publicizing the manifold advantages of rowing as a means of health and physical development.

What it reported doing in 2024

To promote the sport of rowing to south-central Kansas through personal skill instruction in learn-to-row classes, to provide continuing skill education throughout the year to members, and to purchase/maintain rowing equipment to allow persons of all skill levels to enjoy the sport. To provide competitive skill-testing of athletes and to convene rowers of all ages and skills through social and skill-testing regattas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
