Overview

Mission

We support uss Utah sailors and their families in groton ct, through family engagement programs, scholarships for military-connected students, and community initiatives that strengthen local support and opportunity.

What it reported doing in 2025

The uss Utah commissioning committee conducted public relations and educational activities supporting the christening of the uss Utah (ssn-801). Activities included organizing visits of crew members to Utah for media and outreach events, coordinating community engagement, providing navy-related educational materials, and promiting awareness of the submarine and its mission. These efforts strengthen ties between the navy, the local community, and supporters of the commissioning program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
