Organization Classification

The IRS classifies organizations according to the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) system. The NTEE system helps the IRS assign a 3-character code to each organization to describe the organization's activities.

The Wausaukee Club's NTEE code is N50. The "N" tells us that the organization is classified along with Recreational Clubs. The "50" tells us that the organization is a Recreation & Sports organization. The NTEE describes Recreation & Sports organizations as those that make available to members and their guests facilities for recreational activities, sports and games, as well as social clubs that provide opportunities for people to meet and socialize with their peers. These organizations are typically 501(c)(7) organizations and are governed by the Internal Revenue Code's Section 7 which describes Social and Recreational Clubs.

Organization Staffing

Wausaukee Club is run by Laura Peters, who is the President. The organization has 38 employees, none of whom are paid more than $100k per year (according to the organization's most recent 990 tax filing). There are no volunteers supporting the paid staff.

Board Governance

The Wausaukee Club is governed by a board of seven voting members. Unfortunately, the organization does not have any independent members and does not have any policies in place to address potential conflicts of interest, document retention, or whistleblower protection. Furthermore, the organization does not require disclosure of conflicts, substantiate and review leadership or officer salaries, or provide copies of the 990 to the board prior to filing. While the board meetings are documented, there is no documentation of committee meetings. Overall, the governance of the Wausaukee Club is lacking in certain areas and could benefit from the implementation of additional policies and procedures.

Organization Growth

The Wausaukee Club has experienced a mixed record of growth over the past five years. While Program Service Revenue and Investment Income increased, Other Revenue and Employee Salaries decreased. Total Revenue and Total Expenses also decreased over this time period. However, the organization did experience growth in the number of employees, increasing from 32 in 2014 to 38 in 2019.
