What North American Car of the Year Corporation does
Mission
The purpose of the organization is to provide the buying public with an informed consensus opinion, congregated from 50 or more journalists from the top automotive publications in the u.s. And canada, to help consumers make wise buying decisions for the newest car, truck, and sport utility vehicle released each year.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The objective is to help buyers determine which are the best new car, truck and sport utility vehicle of each year.
Grow the reach of our awards so more buyers will know to trust the results and make buying decisions based on them. This is done through social media, press releases, and the awards ceremony for the annual north american car of the year, truck of the year and sport utility vehicle of the year. A press release for the awards ceremony is picked up by more than 100 media outlets, and they run stories reaching potentially millions of people.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $273k to $205k (−25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
