Overview

Mission

The grandy community center is located in a small community and serves a vast area of the county (isanti county, mn). The mission statement: to provide facility for the area residents at a nominal fee or free, for the purpose of business, gathering and play.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization maintained the upkeep and maintenance of the grandy community center, which is offered to people in the area to use at minimal cost. The organization does all the cleaning and pays all the related expenses for the facility. In 2025, the community center was used by the local cub scouts for meetings at no charge. Local families enduring various hardships are allowed to use the center for funeral luncheouns at no charge. Others using the community center facilities at no charge include the youth snowmobile organization (for training) and the grandy lions (monthly meeting). A pancake breakfast has also been hosted at the community center by the local lions club on multiple occasions throughout the year. In 2025 a new stove was installed and electrical improvements were made.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% 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 and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
