Overview
Mission
Preservation and restoration of locally significant historic sites; public education and engagement.
What it reported doing in 2024
Due to the Covid shutdowns, the venue we preserved, restored, and offered public education (tours) through lost their business; subsequently, our organization was shut down at that site as well. We have spent the past three and a half years with very little income, but are working on another site that will hopefully produce revenue in 2025/now 2026. The building owners are exceedingly slow to complete their renovations that will allow us to complete our improvements.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 85% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
