Overview

Mission

All revenue and expenses incurred by this organization are for the sole purpose of supporting local programs for Veterans and their families. Our major focus is the American Legion Boys' State program where area high school boys are taught citizenship and leadership skills held annually at Morrisville College in New York State.

What it reported doing in 2025

A majority of our revenue and expenses incurred by Warren County American Legion are for the sole purpose of supporting legion programs and services. This includes a total of thirteen (13) junior high school boys who were immersed in a weeklong Boys' State Program during the summer to include round-trip transportation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
