Overview

Mission

Historical preservation of the Guibord-Valle house and the Kiel-Schwent house. This was accomplished by providing tours of the Guibord-Valle house soliciting funds and increasing awareness and knowledge of the historical significance of Ste. Genevieve County. Both of these houses are of French Colonial Era in Ste. Genevieve.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our mission is to preserve the history both in structures and culture of Ste. Genevieve MO. We maintained the Guibord-Valle House offering tours and educational presentations. We celebrated the Queens Ball teaching traditional French music and dance. We offered the French Heritage Festival a history conference as well as a spirit reunion at the Memorial Cemetery which we maintain for the city.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
