From the annual returns the group files with the IRS (Form 990, or the shorter Form 990-EZ for smaller groups), 1 filed year. Net assets are what it owns minus what it owes; management and general is office, admin and insurance cost. A dash means not reported (the short form does not ask for employees or volunteers).
