People: 0 employees and 20 volunteers reported for the year ending Jun 2025. Counts only; BackPR does not publish names of officers or staff.

Revenue trend: Shrinking. Revenue went from $452,884 (year ending Jun 2022) to $303,236 (Jun 2025), about -13% 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.
