Overview
Mission
To raise funds and collect artifacts to create a museum in Bruyeres France that will display the artifacts and relate the stories of the members of the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team and members of the French Resistance who assisted them in the liberation of Bruyers, Belmonte and Biffontaine.
What it reported doing in 2025
During 2025, the Heroes of the Vosges Museum Fund raised funds through donations and from book sales authored. All donations and book sales revenues were deposited in the museum account and will be expended during 2026 for the modifications of the former Treasury Building. The Treasury Building will be renamed The Heroes of the Vosges Museum and serve as the permanent site for the museum. An architect is being sought to provide the necessary plans. Based on the architectural review, contractors will be engaged to make the building modifications. The museum is expected to open in October 2026.A large shipment of artifacts and display cases was gathered during 2025 and shipped to France in February 2026.During 2025, the Town of Bruyres France established and approved a four-person Heroes of the Vosges Museum Association to manage the ongoing operation of the museum.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
