Overview
Mission
To operate as a war veterans organization that supports veterans and their survivors, promotes patriotism, defends the U.S Constitution, and fosters community service.
What it reported doing in 2025
The American Legion, chartered in 1919 has achieved significant service accomplishments by lobbying for veterans' benefits, founding the VA, drafting the original GI Bill, and supporting youth through programs like Boys State and Legion Baseball. Department of Georgia American Legion Post 8 is located in one of the smallest populated and poorest counties in Georgia. We strive to promote social welfare and maintain comradeship by having a Veteran's Breakfast during our monthly meetings, free of charge, for any Veteran. Although our membership is aging, we are still able to assist disabled and needy veterans/survivors when called upon, even if it is a simple as buddy checks. We also continue to foster patriotism in the community by ensuring our National Emblem is proudly displayed throughout for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 69% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.

- 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
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
