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

+13.6%TY2024

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)

9.7 monthsTY2024

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)

-5.5%TY2024

Change in total revenue from TY2023 to TY2024.

A single year of revenue change is a data point, not a trend. See the historical trends above for multi-year pattern context.

Source: the organization's own sworn filing.

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): 33.6

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.

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

Reported: Yes

This organization has a written conflict of interest policy requiring officers, directors, and key employees to disclose any personal financial interest in a pending decision and to step back from that vote. A documented policy creates a formal process for surfacing and managing potential conflicts. In this corpus, 41% of organizations report having one.

Whistleblower Protection Policy

Form 990, Part VI — Line 13

Reported: Yes

A formal process exists for employees, volunteers, or members to report suspected misconduct, with documented protection from retaliation. The IRS added this question in 2008 following Sarbanes-Oxley. In this corpus, 27.5% of organizations report having one.

Officer & Key Employee Compensation (Part VII)

Form 990, Part VII — Named individuals with reportable compensation

Part VII requires individual disclosure of all officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and the five highest-compensated employees earning above the reporting threshold. The individuals listed here are from the most recent available filing.

NameTitleComp from Org
Amber ClarkExecutive Director$90,444

Compensation shown is reportable compensation from this organization only, as disclosed in Part VII. Most volunteer-run sailing clubs report $0 officer compensation, while larger organizations may report paid executive roles. The figures above show exactly what this filing reports for named individuals.

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.

1. Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after an…

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.
