Overview

Mission

Our goal is to educate our members and guests on critical issues facing our communities, country and world today.

What it reported doing in 2025

The purpose of the book club is for wow members to learn about current issues that affect our world. The group decides on the books to be read. The books often correlate with a current event or with the topic of our speaker that month. Book club meets on a monthly basis in a member's home. The discussions are often lively, informative and insightful. You do not have to read the book to attend or participate in the discussions. It's a great way to educate yourself and to get to know other wow members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
