Overview

Mission

Gathering place for veterans and their guests

What it reported doing in 2025

This organization rents out hall space at below market rates to local charities and civic groups. Hall use is also donated to sponsor charity events for local veteran and civic groups. Monies received are used to maintain building and hall operations, buy food and supplies for fundraising events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 66% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict
