Overview

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to aid and assist in a material way disabled veterans of the world war and their families, contribute to the needs of under-priviledged children, both of veterans and non-veterans, and cooperate with the public schools in sponsoring education week and in giving school awards for outstanding service and accomplishments among the student body in the public schools in the state of Texas.

What it reported doing in 2024

The american legion hall is rented out to various organizations and individuals to help deferred the costs of carrying on its tax exempt purpose.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
