What it reported doing in 2025

The MVCCA facility is open 6 days a week; 9-6pm weekdays and 10-2pm Saturdays. In 2025, the Energy Retrofit Project construction got underway. This includes adding an all new HVAC system, insulation, upgraded electrical system, and fixing millwork and framing. Work was completed in the gym by mid November and began on the three story side of the building mid December. 10 organizations were able to serve community members through the room rentals we offer. Approximately 35,000 visits were made to the building in 2025. This includes students attending weekly classes in the building, folks coming to use the library, attending events, playing sports in the gym, visiting the information center and using the public restrooms.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
