EIN: 05-0254070 · NEWPORT, RI · Data spans: TY2020–TY2025
Sailing's public record, made legible. All numbers come directly from this organization's own sworn 990 filing. Patterns are computed from years of filings — not assessments or judgments.
Read trends in context: compare like with like, note the filing year, and treat major disruptions (like 2020–2021) as discontinuities rather than a continuous baseline.
Missing or N/A does not always mean absent. It can mean the item was not disclosed on that form, not collected on that filing type, or not available for that year.

Historical Trends
Revenue vs. Expenses
Net Revenue / Operating Margin
Net Assets
Financial Health Snapshot
Derived from IRS 990 filings. Figures are as reported — they reflect a single point in time and should be read alongside the full filing history and program context above. No benchmark is a verdict.
Operating Margin
Net revenue as a share of total revenue. Positive = surplus; negative = deficit.
Sector context: sailing organizations typically run thin margins by design. A small surplus signals structural balance; a deficit is not automatically a warning without multi-year trend context.
Cash reserve (months)
Cash and short-term investments divided by average monthly expense.
A common practitioner benchmark: 3–6 months of unrestricted reserves provides a buffer for seasonal revenue gaps or unexpected costs. This figure is not a compliance threshold.
Revenue Change (YoY)
Change in total revenue from TY2024 to TY2025.
A single year of revenue change is a data point, not a trend. See the historical trends above for multi-year pattern context.

Officers & Key Staff (Part VII)
How to read this section
This is not a full staff directory. It is the subset of people the organization had to disclose in Form 990, Part VII (the officer, director, trustee, key employee, and highest-compensated employee section of the filing). Why this matters: a missing name does not mean a person was not employed or involved.
Total Volunteer Board Hours/Week (Selected Year): 85
Hours per week are self-reported by each officer on Form 990, Part VII. They are not verified.
Officers and directors as reported on Form 990, Part VII. These are typically unpaid, elected positions. If an officer receives compensation, it will appear in the Paid Staff tab.
Operationally, this section is most useful for understanding disclosed leadership structure, compensation visibility, and board labor — not for reconstructing the full staffing model of a club.

Programs (Part III — most recent year)
Form 990, Part III — Statement of Program Service Accomplishments. These are the activities that directly further the organization's exempt purpose. Expenses, grants, and revenue are as reported in the organization's own sworn filing.
HOUSE COMMITTEE: MAINTENANCE & UPKEEP OF CLUBHOUSE FACILITIES FOR USE BY MEMBERS AND VISITING YACHTSMEN.
JUNIOR ACTIVITIES: SAIL TRAINING AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH.
Governance & Transparency Signals
The IRS Form 990 is a sworn disclosure document — not just a tax return. Beyond financials, it captures governance policies, compensation practices, and relationships between insiders and the organization. Every category below comes directly from that filing. When a field is blank, it is often because this form type doesn’t require it, or the org doesn’t meet the threshold that triggers disclosure. That context is itself worth knowing.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Form 990, Part VI — Line 12a
No written conflict of interest policy was reported on the filing. This means Part VI does not document a formal recusal process in this return. The IRS does not require a policy in every case, but this line is included so readers can see whether the filing itself records one.
Whistleblower Protection Policy
Form 990, Part VI — Line 13
No whistleblower protection policy reported. The IRS added this question in 2008 following Sarbanes-Oxley. Absence does not imply wrongdoing; many smaller organizations have not formalized this in writing.
Officer & Key Employee Compensation (Part VII)
Form 990, Part VII — Named individuals with reportable compensation
No individual compensation reported for this organization in the most recent filing.
Most volunteer-run sailing clubs report $0 officer compensation. Part VII still exists in the filing — it lists officers and directors with $0 reportable compensation, meaning this club is led by unpaid volunteers. When compensation appears in other filings, it marks a transition: the organization has grown to the point where professional management was engaged.
Independent Compensation Consultant
Schedule J, Part I — Organizations filing when comp exceeds $150K
Schedule J not required for this organization.
Schedule J is only filed when at least one individual in Part VII received more than $150,000 in total compensation. This organization doesn’t meet that threshold, so this schedule is not required. Among the 35.7% of organizations in this corpus that file Schedule J, that same percentage used an independent compensation consultant to benchmark executive pay against market rates.
Equity-Based Compensation
Schedule J, Part II — Per-person compensation detail
Schedule J not required for this organization.
Related-Party Transactions (Schedule L)
Schedule L — Transactions with Interested Persons (officers, directors, their families, controlled entities)
Schedule L requires disclosure of loans, grants, and business transactions between the organization and its own insiders — board members, officers, key employees, and their family members or entities they control. Nonprofits are not prohibited from transacting with insiders, but they must disclose it, follow fair-market-value standards, and document that the transaction benefited the organization, not just the insider. These disclosures exist because self-dealing is the most direct way nonprofit assets can flow to those in control.
No related-party transactions found in our data for this organization. Schedule L is only required when transactions occur — absence means none were reported, not necessarily that none occurred.

IRS Source Filings
Source filings are IRS e-file records in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format — a structured data standard used by the IRS for electronic filing. If you open one of these links, it will look like code. That's not an error — that's what XML looks like. Harbor Commons processes this raw XML and presents the structured, readable view you see above.
Why this matters: the XML is the receipt. Harbor Commons is the reading layer on top of that receipt. If you ever need to verify a number, wording choice, or disclosure, the source filing is where to check.
