Overview
Mission
Our mission is to create a community of women who support, encourage, and inspire each other while taking part in shooting sports. We accomplish this mission by collaborating with trap clubs across the State of Montana and Colorado to support and implement Women's Shooting Leagues.
What it reported doing in 2024
W.S.S.A. provides sporting and personal safety equipment to participating clubs to reduce financial barriers for clubs and individuals who may need to borrow equipment as they begin. As funding allows, W.S.S.A. intends to expand this activity to include firearm fit grants, scholarships, and financial assistance to reduce financial and physical barriers to safe participation in shooting sports. No private benefit is provided; any financial support is approved by the Board of Directors and documented in accordance with the bylaws (Bylaws, Article IV & V).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 62% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
