Overview

Mission

To receive, administer, and expend funds for the sc military to protect lives and properties during times of emergencies and to recognize those who served in the South Carolina department and the united states.

Funds are used to support events hosted by the sc military department for the public as a thank you for their ongoing support. The program supports a connection between the people of sc and the sc military community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
