Overview
Mission
Collect preserve and share historical railroad information of South Jersey and surrounding areas.
What it reported doing in 2025
Create a National Historic Site for the Camden and Amboy Railroad within Bordentown City, New Jersey. This is a joint project in cooperation with the Bordentown Historical Society, Bordentown City, and Burlington County. In addition to the National Historic Site nomination, this project seeks to create a walking tour with information kiosks and to build a railroad park displaying examples of 14 styles of railroad track built by the Camden and Amboy during 1831-1838.
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 92% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
