Overview

Mission

The okinawa enlisted spouses' club governs the okinawa enlisted spouses' club thrift store and uncle sam's attic. Profits are given back to the community which promotes a long lasting friendship between the u.s. And our host country.

What it reported doing in 2024

The thrift store program accepts donations of new and gently-used items such as clothing and household goods, and resells them to the u.s. Military and local community at affordable prices. The profits from the store fund the charitable, scholarship and general membership programs. The thrift store also offers employment opportunities for military spouses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 62% for direct work, and 38% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
