Overview

Mission

We were created to preserve local military history run museum operations in DeLand and preserve the history of the DeLand Warboats including WW2 tugboat US Army ST479 which was built in DeLand and finally returned after 78 years in 2023. We have never received a grant from any source and our work for the City of DeLand is on a voluntary basis. We have raised funds as needed in the past from local donors to include funds to return ST479 Tiger. Our work includes coordination of local veterans events cleaning and repairing veterans headstones and preservation of all local military history.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ongoing support of the military rooms in the DeLand Memorial Hospital and Veterans Museum. The facility is City owned and maintained. Few expenses other than general support and marketing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
