Overview
Mission
Educational and support
What it reported doing in 2019
Operation of antique gun collector shows with educational exhibits and support for legal gun ownership. Support for shooting sports clubs, first responders and veterans. Support for Boy Scouts, BATF, several first responders and the New York State National Guard.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
