Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of Central Valley Blue Star is support active duty military and veteran military personnel. We do this by sending CARE packages to military personnel stationed all over the world. We also help other organization that serve the active duty military and veterans.

What it reported doing in 2023

Honor Flight - donation to Central Valley Honor Flight and showing support by attending each Welcome home ceremony at Fresno Yosemite Airport. We supply flags to each person that attends. We also give tokens of appreciation to the military personnel who attend the ceremony to salute the returning veterans.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
