What American Legion Eighth District Council does
Mission
American Legion Eighth District Council (District 8 or D8) is the collection of American Legion Posts in San Francisco, and part of the American Legion Department of California. While it is not a chapter of the American Legion, it is an intermediate office between the ten independent posts in San Francisco and the state offices (the Department of California). Organizationally, the 30 District commanders within CA are the governing body of the Department of California through the Department Executive Committee (DEC). The posts within a geographical area make up a District. Some of the posts and some of the Districts in CA are incorporatedsome arent. D8 is incorporated.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
American Legion Eighth District Council (District 8 or D8) is the collection of American Legion Posts in San Francisco, and part of the American Legion Department of California. As such, it works with other veterans organizations to promote and deliver services to veterans. Additionally, it participates in scholarship programs for high school boys and girls in the district to attend the California Boys and Girls State in the summer. It also participates in the annual American Legion Oratorical Contest for high school students, competing for scholarships. 70% of this program work is spent for veterans; 25% is spent for Boys & Girls State; and 5% is spent for the Oratorical Contest program.
The War Memorial Commission standing committee of D8, oversees the veterans spaces within the much larger City-of-SF-owned Veterans Building. It maintains the spaces, schedules meeting rooms, and provides offices to 35 veterans organizations within the building. It also manages the Veterans Gallery, a 1750 square-foot space on the first floor of the Veterans Building that hosts a rotating series of educational exhibits focused on US and World history, veterans issues and experiences, and the occasional veterans art exhibit.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $89k to $129k (+44%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
