Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Advocacy and Activism – Strengthen and promote the field of jewelry and metals.

Education – Cultivate and create programs, publications, services, and opportunities that deliver creative approaches and critical support to our members and reflect the changing international community.

Operations & Governance – Create clear and efficient guidelines and policies to define roles, responsibilities, terms, and hierarchy within the organization.

Development/Fundraising - Create and implement a development plan that allows for diverse income sources to contribute to the financial sustainability of SNAG.

• Educate the public about the field of metalworking and jewelry.

• Record our field's history

• Form strong partnerships with other organization, in the fields of craft, art and design to create greater impact for our members and constituents

• Increase awareness of SNAG through brand identity, visibility, and communications.

• Be a resource for educational materials and support within the field

• Nurture the future of the field

• Identify and create partnerships to improve education

• Commitment to remain disciplined, accountable, and responsible for our internal operations and move forward with confidence in our systems

• Create closer partnerships between board, volunteers, and staff to change the culture of the board to one that is strategic, proactive, and focuses on fundraising

• Expanding SNAG's fundraising and development capabilities

• Developing a culture of giving

• Streamlining fundraising and develop efforts

For 2015-2018 SNAG created a new strategic plan and SNAG moved to a new committee system within the board, allowing for us to build our capacity and achieve these goals and objectives.

We have completed the 2015-2018 strategic plan period and are assessing accomplishments on a quarterly basis.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
