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).

Other is negative: the filing nets losses, for example on events or investments, against income. Percentages use only the positive sources and are rounded, so they may not add to 100.

People: 1 employee and 0 volunteers reported for the year ending Jul 2025. Counts only; BackPR does not publish names of officers or staff.

Revenue trend: Steady. Revenue went from $87,488 (year ending Jul 2023) to $77,360 (Jul 2025), about -6% a year.

Growth label: we compare total revenue on the oldest and the newest return shown above. Growing means revenue rose by more than 10% a year on average, Shrinking means it fell by more than 10% a year, and Steady means a change between -10% and +10% a year. The rate is the compounded yearly average between the two returns, so it hides ups and downs in between (see the table). We only label groups with returns at least a year apart and at least $5,000 of revenue on the oldest one. This is our own calculation, not an IRS rating or a judgment of quality.
