Overview

Mission

A non-profit organization establised to honor retired veterans

What it reported doing in 2023

Income derived from donations

Operating model

Revenue model
Contribution and grant supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and grants. The filing reports them as one total, so it does not say how much was granted.
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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
