Overview

Mission

Preserve, interpret, and promote the history of Roebling NJ

What it reported doing in 2025

The George Lengel Jr. Scholarship Fund was created as a restricted purpose fund with the goal of awarding a total of 2,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are residents of Florence Township NJ.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
