Overview

Mission

Purpose of the organization is to provide scholarships. To operate a community facility for meetings of school groups, alumni organizations, and other community groups for civic functions.

What it reported doing in 2015

Provided facilities for alumni, school, and community events. Supported the gladewater independent school district and awarded scholarships to graduating seniors.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
