Overview

Mission

Our primary purpose is for the education of the public on the role of our military members and to provide an avenue to display and share items reflecting military service.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the Oregon coast military museum's operations in the year 2024, the facility redisigned current exhitions, experiences, and events to engage the wider public audience as the museum's presence has spread to neighboring communities.as stated last year, the museum is still worining toward relocation of the facitiy; first steps have been made by purchasing a new metal frame builing to be constructed. Displays have been reworked to be more kid friendly. Efforts to create a veteran community center have been slower than anticipated, however progress is being made with other groups.some of the ocmm's goals for 2025 is to continue efforts to fundraise for the planned relocation due to the current facilty limiting our efforts to expand educaton and honoring of veterans. Additional work will be made to continue to expand work relationships with local veterans and expand available programs. Partnerships with children based organizations are also in the works and will hopefully have results by the end of 2025.

Operating model

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
