Society for Marketing Professional Services
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
THE SOCIETY FOR MARKETING PROFFESIONALS SERVICES WAS CREATED IN 1973 BY A SMALL GROUP OF PROFFESIONAL SERVICES FIRM LEADERS WHO RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO SHARPENN SKILLS, POOL RESOURCES AND WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. TOGETHER THEY CREATED SMPS TO HELP TACKLE THE DAY TO DAY COMPLEXITIES OF MAKETING IN A TIME WHEN MARKETING WAS BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED AS A SEPARATE COMPONENT OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FIRMS. THE COLORADO CHAPTER HAS OVER 322 MEMBERS AND HOLDS A NUMBER OF EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES AND NETWORKING LUNCHEONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
