Overview

Mission

Operation of historic home owned by local university - home museum, art, historic preservation, regional history

What it reported doing in 2024

All third-grade school classes are invited to field trip to the museum home of mr. & mrs. Millikin built in 1876. The event is held over a two-week span. One school is permitted in the home at a time. There is a scripted program with characters dressed in period costumes. Children meet mr. Millikin, the piano tuner, the maid, the kitchen help, and finally mrs. Millikin. Children are encouraged to ask questions and given opportunity to work small art projects or do rubbings of coins and other artifacts on to tracing paper. The entire passage is through the rooms, listening to stories, questions, artwork, and a snack. We provide grant opportunities for teachers to obtain funds for the cost of busing. Last year we had 750 students come through the house.

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

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 total spending goes to programs.
