Overview

Mission

The club was organized to help establish community welfare programs, provide aid to the disabled and support the united nations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided assistance to individuals, charities and government organizations with grants of $317.020.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 62% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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 the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
