Overview

Mission

Support member veterans and their families by providing social and recreational activities, sponsoring and participating in patriotic activities, conducting charitable activities and carrying on programs to perpetuate the memory of deceased veterans of the armed forces.

What it reported doing in 2025

The largest program service rendered by the organization is providing social and recreational activities for member veterans and their families. Specific activities include the use of the grounds, facilities and bar by its members; social gatherings such as brunches, banquets, dinners and parties for the members; social gatherings related to various holidays. The organization devotes approximately 75% of its time and recources to this activity.

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