Workers Compensation Education Association
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
Our primary purpose is to insure our members are fully educated on all statutes, rules, case-law and court rulings that govern the practice of Workers Compensation in Colorado and that members are updated on changes as they occur. We accomplish this by providing 20 to 35 hours of Continuing Legal Education each year, as well as providing access for members to several databases on topics necessary to practice Workers' Compensation law at an advanced level.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

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.
