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 (2)
- $37,493 spent. Rails to Trails Economic Development Project: The objective is to build a non-motorized use, recreational trail on an active powerline corridor which was once a railroad bed. In prior years, we purchased 0.46 acres for the Neillsville Trailhead and Park, and 6.42 acres for the Trail. Construction of the Trailhead and Opelt Park was completed in 2024. It includes a play structure with accessible elements, adult fitness stations, a picnic shelter, an accessible bathroom, a glide swing for wheelchairs, and water access for kayaks and canoes. In 2025, construction of the packed gravel recreation trail was completed along with the construction of a Trail Rest Area along the creek with a picnic table and bench. Opelt Park and the Recreation Trail see multigenerational usage on a regular basis, attracting both families and individuals. The new Trail Rest Area attracts employees from the nearby Courthouse for their lunch breaks. Four community events were held at the Trailhead and Trail during 2025. This is an economic development project to promote recreation, tourism, and community and business growth. We estimate this project will have far reaching benefits to all of Clark County with a population of 34,659 as of 2020. We anticipate this Trail and Trailhead will continue to attract visitors having a direct impact on the City of Neillsville with a population of 2,384 (2020 census).
- $50 spent. City Beautification: $50 was donated to the City of Neillsville Beautification Committee for Hanging Flower Baskets placed on light poles throughout the city. This aligns with our goals and purpose of stimulating and strengthening the community and tourist trade. The beautification of the town impacts all 2,384 residents (2020 census) and all incoming tourists and visitors.
