Overview

Mission

Educational

What it reported doing in 2012

Maintain and preserve local 1943 meetinghouse and church. The meetinghouse contains artifacts of daily life in the village of gilford. The building is open to the public at no charge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
