Overview

Mission

The union museum of history and art presents exhibits that showcase and celebrate this region's history, culture, and creativity. Its mission is to tell the stories of the people in and near union parish and open the doors of knowledge, understanding, and inclusion.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
