Overview
Mission
The primary purpose of the Wakefield Brookfield Historical Society (WBHS) is the collection, preservation, and interpretation of historic artifacts within our two communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
1. Renovation of the Cobbler Shop (foundation, exterior siding, windows, reshingled the roof, painted interior and exterior, deep cleaned interior and all of the artifacts) = $25,980 2. Purchased a historic quilt made by parish helpers from the towns of Wakefield and Brookfield, NH. Held event to showcase and share with members. Plan to photograph and display for the community. $2,400 3. Two NH Humanities speakers presented NH Schoolhouses and NH Cellar Holes at events that were well attended by both members and the community. Two grants were received by NH Humanities for a total of $600 and we paid that to the two speakers plus reimbursed them for their mileage. = $845
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
