Overview

Mission

The young scandinavians club is a social & cultural club for persons with scandinavian ties residing in northern California to socialize and preserve scandinavian traditions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Members use facilities at clear lake and lake tahoe for gatherings of members to socialize and enjoy scandinavian traditions and activities.

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

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
