Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Provide support to veterans by providing venues for socialization of veterans with veterans, veteran service programs as well as community programs designed to promote unity and patriotism.

  • We maintain and operate a beverage and entertainment facility 7 days a week for members to congregate and meet. This encourages the socialization of veterans with veterans and promotes and strengthens comradeship among veterans. It also encourages impromptu meetings for planning and developing veteran and community programs. Estimated beneficiares 400.

    Expenses $206,972 · Revenue $166,236

  • We organize and operate, with member only volunteers, a weekly Thursday night Bingo Kitchen. This provides the community an ongoing social event and the net profits earned from the dinners are used to fund several veteran and community programs. Estimated beneficiares 75 per week.

    Expenses $9,197 · Revenue $11,626

  • We organize various activities for Veterans in our local VA Hospital and an annual Christmas donation of good and items for our troops overseas. Program was deferred in 2021 due to Covid-19

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
