Overview

Mission

To invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

What it reported doing in 2025

Fraternal organization dedicated to the service of fellow man and the community.

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 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
