Overview

Mission

To preserve the memories of war veterans and provide support to various programs in the community

What it reported doing in 2024

American legion post 900 opened a restaurant inside their existing building in 2022. The intent was to create an additional revenue stream to support post operations. Once the restaurant becomes profitable, net proceeds will go towards maintenance and improvements of the property/building. The post will also be looking at additional services that they can provide to members and the local community once the restaurant is profitable.

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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
