What it reported doing in 2025
POST RELIEF INCLUDES POPPY CAMPAIGNS, WREATHS ACROSS AMERICAN AND OTHER RELIEF ACTIVITIES.Usually one but sometimes two Poppy campaigns throughout the year. All money raised by the Poppy campaign goes directly to the relief fund. Last year we held one major campaign for two days at the Yokes in Kennewick and Yokes in Pasco. The Auxiliary also holds one event per year. Their last event was in November. We also took advantage to perform some smaller Poppy events at the Veteran Standdown event in November and other information booth activities at the Convention Center.Wreaths across America campaign provided approximately 120 wreaths for 120 veterans graves in November and December.For Relief activities we provided $500 to Columbia Basin Vet Center to help a Veteran in need, $600 for the two Parades we supported (Benton Franklin Fair Parade and Regional Veterans Parade). We also provided $750 directly to a Veteran in need and another $1000 to a Veteran in need. We also provided $100 to the VFW National Home.
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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
