Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $20,618 spent. We operated a Community Center for the residents of the rural community of Trumbull, NE (population 220) and surrounding area with an all-volunteer staff in 2024. It is the only handicapped-accessible facility for large gatherings in the community. Residents entered the facility approximately 4000 times last year to attend an event or gathering. Approximately half of the usage was for health and wellness including youth sports and exercise for all ages. The other half was for community and family meetings or events at a reasonable fee to defray operating costs.
- $7,364 spent. The building would serve as a shelter in the event of natural disaster or extended power outage. Luckily we did not have either scenario in 2024.
- $1,472 spent. We sponsored our Annual Soup Supper in December which provides a multi-generational activity for local residents. Approximately 200 were served and the free will offering also provides a fundraiser.
